性情內斂的倫敦律師加布里埃爾·厄特森，因好友亨利·傑基爾博士的一份奇怪遺囑而深感不安；遺囑把一切都留給名叫愛德華·海德、令人憎惡又性情暴戾的男子。海德不斷做出殘酷行徑，最後更野蠻殺害一名德高望重的紳士；厄特森於是試圖斬斷兩人之間的神祕聯繫。傑基爾時而袒護海德，時而否認與他有關，之後更完全閉門不出。隨著駭人的一幕浮現，又有一名同僚死去，真相終於透過書面自白揭露。傑基爾著迷於人性分裂的本質，曾調製出一種藥水，讓自己化身為徹底邪惡的海德；起初，這是一次帶來解放感的逃離，後來卻成了難以戒除的癮。海德逐漸變得更強大，變身也再也無法控制，直到傑基爾無力逆轉變化，又因謀殺案遭到追捕，終被自己釋放出的怪物般分身毀滅。

Mr. Utterson the lawyer was a rough-looking man who never smiled. He was cold and awkward in conversation. He held back his feelings. He was thin, tall, dusty, gloomy, and yet somehow lovable. In friendly gatherings, and when he liked the wine, something warmly human showed in his eyes. He never said this aloud, but it showed in his actions. He was strict with himself. When alone, he drank gin to stop himself enjoying fine wines. He liked the theatre, but he had not entered one for twenty years. Still, he was very tolerant of other people. He sometimes wondered, almost with envy, at the strong passion that led them into wrongdoing. In any serious trouble, he was more likely to help than to blame. He often said, “I incline to Cain’s heresy: I let my brother go to the devil in his own way.” Because of this, he was often the last respectable friend and the last good influence in the lives of men who were going downhill. And to such men, as long as they came to his rooms, he never showed any change in his manner.

律師厄特森先生長相粗獷，從不微笑。他說話冷淡又不自在，也不輕易表露感情。他身材瘦高，神情灰暗陰沉，卻不知怎地仍惹人喜愛。和朋友相聚、喝到合口味的酒時，他眼中會流露溫暖的人情味。他不會把這些感受說出口，卻會用行動表現出來。他對自己很嚴格。獨處時，他喝琴酒，讓自己不再貪戀好酒。他喜歡看戲，卻有二十年沒有走進劇院。他對別人倒很寬容。有時他幾乎帶著羨慕，納悶別人做壞事時怎麼會那麼有勁。遇到嚴重困難，他通常寧可幫忙，也不責怪。他常說：「我傾向該隱的異端主張：我讓兄弟照自己的方式走向地獄。」因此，他常是那些人生走下坡的男人最後一位正派朋友，也是最後一股善的影響。只要這些人還來他的住處，他對他們的態度就始終如一。

“I wish the friends were younger,” chuckled Dr. Lanyon. “But I suppose we are. And what of that? I see little of him now.” “Indeed?” said Utterson. “I thought you had a bond of common interest.” “We had,” was the reply. “But it is more than ten years since Henry Jekyll became too fanciful for me. He began to go wrong, wrong in mind; and though of course I continue to take an interest in him for old sake’s sake, as they say, I see and I have seen devilish little of the man. Such unscientific balderdash,” added the doctor, flushing suddenly purple, “would have estranged Damon and Pythias.”

「真希望朋友都年輕些，」蘭尼恩醫生笑著說。「不過想來我們是最老的。那又怎麼樣？我現在很少見到他。」 「是嗎？」厄特森說。「我以為你們因共同的興趣而關係密切。」 「以前是這樣，」蘭尼恩回答。「但亨利・傑基爾變得太愛幻想，已經十多年了。他開始走偏，思想也不正常；當然，為了多年的交情，我還是關心他，可我現在幾乎不見他，以前也很少見。那種不合科學的胡說八道，」醫生忽然氣得滿臉通紅，又補充道，「連達蒙和皮西亞斯那樣的好友都會因此絕交。」
