Read the excerpt from  the strange case of dr. jekyll and mr. hyde. to cast in my lot with jekyll, was to die to those appetites which i had long secretly indulged and had of late begun to pamper. to cast it in with hyde, was to die to a thousand interests and aspirations, and to become, at a blow and forever, despised and friendless. the  most likely  reason the author included this excerpt from jekyll’s point of view is toshow the reader jekyll’s thoughts. describe hyde’s feelings to the reader. explain hyde’s plans to the reader. make the reader accept jekyll’s logic.
