Enfield Basics:
● A distant relative of Utterson. A well-known man about town and the
complete opposite of Utterson.
● Ideal gentleman of the Victorian age- he has a strong sense of morals
and good manners.
● He begins the mystery by telling the story of the girl who is
“trampled”. Chapter 1 (Story of the door)
● We see him twice in the text, both times on his usual Sunday
afternoon walk with his distant relative and friend Mr Utterson.
● On both walks, they pass by the curious door that prompts Mr Enfield
to tell the “story of the door”.
● Mr Enfield’s one other notable characteristic is a severe lack of
curiosity regarding the unusual.
● He seems to be okay with weird men that “trample” small children, as
long as they pay up afterwards.
Importance
● Represents: typical Victorian values
● Understands the importance of reputation
● He pressures Hyde into paying for his crime.
● “Make his name stink from one end of London to the other” Chapter 1
(Story of the door)
Utterson and Enfield
● People wonder “what these two could see in each other” Chapter 1
(Story of the door)
● They don’t have a lot in common but are drawn together - links to
Jekyll and Hyde and how they are brought together.
