Enfield has the same Victorian values as Utterson |
. Enfield is a distant cousin of Utterson - he introduces Utterson to the mystery around Hyde through his initial story . He understand the importance of reputation - he pressures Hyde into paying for his crime by threatening to "make his name stink from one end of London to the other" . He says he doesn't like to gossip because gossip can negatively affect a person's reputation - he's "ashamed" of his "long tongue" after he tells Utterson about Hyde |

Enfield and Utterson are quite different |
. Enfield and Utterson don't have much in common - people wonder "what these two could see in each other", but to them their meeting are the "chief jewel of each week", we're told that Utterson is loyal to those he's known the longest, like Enfield . There's a hint that Enfield has an immoral side - he's returning "from some place at the end of the world" at 3am when he sees Hyde trample the child - we're left to speculate where he's been . Unlike Utterson, Enfield isn't curious at all about Hyde - he makes sure that Hyde pays for his crime. but he isn't interested in asking any question about Jekyll and the cheque - he says "the more it looks like Queer Street, the less I ask", this could be a comment on Victorian society that everyone knew that everyone else was secretly sinning, so didn't ask too many questions |

Poole is loyal to Jekyll |
. Poole has been Jekyll's butler for twenty years - he knows his master's habits well and recognises when something is badly wrong - this makes Utterson's reluctance to believe him straight away look unreasonable . Poole sees Jekyll as a respectable man, so he'd rather believe that he's been murdered than consider any other, darker explanation . Poole cares about Jekyll and is concerned by his strange behaviour - he's very anxious when he goes to ask Utterson for help and he bravely helps to knock the cabinet door down, this reflects well on Jekyll's character because it shows that he's worthy of concern |
