Mr.Utterson

            
            
            
            
             Utterson is faced with temptation as his curiosity grows.
             He begins to lose self-control and lose his professional honor. However, he rejects .
             temptation when he gains control and puts curiosity aside. His honor to his friend .
             helps him avoid temptation.
             Mr. Utterson received a letter, which triggers his curiosity. The letter .
             came with a seal that stated, " Not to be opened until the death or disappearance of .
             Dr. Henry Jekyll". The seal made Mr. Utterson wish to open it even more. He .
             wanted to keep his friend's trust, but his curiosity was compelling him to defy it.
             Mr. Utterson gains self-control and rejects temptation. He realized .
             that it's one thing to mortify curiosity and another to conquer it. His friend .
             entrusted him with the expectation that he would obey his request and not open the .
             seal. He realized that his friendship was more important than his own curiosity, so .
             he put his temptation aside.
             Once Mr.Utterson gained self-control, he avoided temptation .
             completely. His professional honor and faith to his dead friend were strict .
             obligations to him. Therefore, he placed the letter in the innermost corner of his .
             private safe. Once the letter was out of sight he was able to put temptation out of .
             his mind.
             Although curiosity can be very tempting, Mr. Utterson proved it .
             could be avoided with self-control. He realized that keeping his friend's honor was .
             very important. By placing the letter away in his safe he could dismiss the thought .
             of opening the letter and breaking his friend's trust.
