The incident of the window scene

English 3312C Fall of 2020 The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
Essay #4: The Purpose of “The Incident of the Window” Scene***
(We are assuming that Gabriel John Utterson is the protagonist; therefore
it is his actions, especially, his reactions, that provide “clues” to answers
regarding the scene’s purpose. Recall, if you will, E. M. W. Tillyard’s claim:
“Every human action has three parts: Motive, Choice, and Consequence.”)
What is Utterson’s “motive” in paying a visit to Jekyll’s place?
What does he “choose” to do when he spots Jekyll?
What are the consequences of this well-intended visit?
Please use the three-paragraph format in writing your essay.
***(This is the story’s “Point of no return”! Look up the meaning of this
phrase.)
