Read the excerpt from the strange case of dr. jekyll and mr. hyde.

what he told me in the next hour, i cannot bring my mind to set on paper. i saw what i saw, i heard what i heard, and my soul sickened at it; and yet now when that sight has faded from my eyes, i ask myself if i believe it, and i cannot answer. my life is shaken to its roots; sleep has left me; the deadliest terror sits by me at all hours of the day and night; and i feel that my days are numbered, and that i must die; and yet i shall die incredulous. as for the moral turpitude that man unveiled to me, even with tears of penitence, i can not, even in memory, dwell on it without a start of horror.

Explanation:

In Robert Louis Stevenson's gothic novel "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde", the protagonist displays a dual personality. One side of his being as the good doctor Jekyll represents the rational whereas as Mr. Hyde, he is the evil persona.

The excerpt given in the question is the dialogue of Dr. Hastie Lanyon, who at one time used to be friends with Dr. Jekyll. Through his speech, we came to know that he must have been trusted by the doctor, enough to be shown the transition of Jekyll into Hyde. But then again, he also wanted to repress the thing he had witnessed. As a scientist himself, that too in the Victorian era, he knew the approach of Jekyll was not something that is natural. unable to reconcile his rationality with that of morality about what he had seen, he even thinks he won't live long, and indeed he died soon after. The secret about Jekyll and his alter ego Hyde that he had witnessed had also led to the change in his friendship with Jekyll, who regards him as a close friend.
