Utterson wants to save his friend Jekyll from Mr. Hyde who he believes wants to kill him. By trade he sees a lot more than what the average man is used to seeing which allows him to remain strong through the shifts during the story. When he learns from Lanyon who Hyde is and how he comes about, he handles it more professionally which is why he is the only main character who lives to the end.
