Victorian Blog #1-Dr. Jekyll And Hyde: Elements of Relationships

The principle relationship I found in the book was that between Dr. Jekyll and this short, evil man Hyde. I think we all know enough to know that they are the same person. But up so far in the book, we see that Jekyll and Hyde have a difficult relationship. Jekyll seems to trust and esteem Hyde enough to list him as the sole heir of his fortune. But as the story goes on, we get the feeling that Hyde is planning something devious to make Jekyll's fortune come to his hands sooner than what Jekyll might think. The whole novel revolves around these two people and the destructive relationship they seem to share. After Hyde commits his horrible deed, Jekyll swears that he is done with him. He swears he doesn't want anything to do with Hyde and couldn't care less of what becomes of him. But at the end of chapter 5, Utterson and Guest realize that the farewell letter supposedly written by Hyde and given to Jekyll was actually written by Jekyll. So what was the whole point of not caring if you're going to still going to cover up for a murderer you swore not to safe gaurd? As we can see, this relationship is puzzling and leaves us with a plethora of questions.
