The following question is based on your reading of “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.”

Answer:

Answers will vary. Rational, because it is the ultimate mental and spiritual torment and there really could be no other way to end it. Furthermore, because Hyde was so completely taking over, Jekyll had to kill himself to rid the world of Hyde. Hasty, because it is the ultimate end. Perhaps using the same scientific prowess that lead to the creation of the first chemical concoction, Dr. Jekyll could have come up with a new chemical to forever silence Hyde.
