Question

the strange case of dr. jekyll and mr. hyde
by robert louis stevenson
chapter 3: dr. jekyll was quite at ease
a fortnight later, by excellent good fortune, the doctor gave one of his
pleasant dinners to some five or six old cronies, all intelligent,
reputable men and all judges of good wine, and mr. utterson so
contrived that he remained behind after the others had departed.
this was no new arrangement, but a thing that had befallen many
scores of times. where utterson was liked, he was liked well. hosts
loved to detain the dry lawyer, when the light - hearted and loose-
tongued had already their foot on the threshold, they liked to sit a
while in his unobtrusive company, practising for solitude, sobering
their minds in the man’s rich silence after the expense and strain of
gaiety. to this rule, dr jekyll was no exception, and as he now sat
based on chapters 3 and 4 of the strange case of dr jekyll and mr
hyde, mr. hyde does not appear to value the same morals and
standards by which most people live. if the reader concludes that mr
hyde is at odds with these beliefs a great deal of the time, this would be
an example of

character vs. character.

character vs. self.

character vs. society.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze the conflict: Mr. Hyde's values differ from the moral standards of most people (society). "Character vs. society" conflict occurs when a character's beliefs/values oppose societal norms. "Character vs. character" is between two characters, and "character vs. self" is internal. Since Hyde conflicts with societal morals, it's character vs. society.

Answer:

character vs. society
