Explanation:

"The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" by Robert Louis Stevenson tells the story of the dual identity of a loved doctor Jekyll. The plot of the story dwells around the investigation of the strange case of the doctor and his alternate nature, the evil and monstrous Mr. Hyde.

In Chapter 8, Dr. Jekyll's butler, Mr Poole had approached Mr. Utterson, a lawyer and close friend of his master for help regarding the recent occurrences in the house. When Poole took him to the house, he claimed that maybe Jekyll was just undergoing one of his usual maladies and that there is no need for concern. But Poole insists that the thing he saw n the lab wasn't his master, for according to him, Jekyll "is a tall, fine build of a man, and this was more of a dwarf.” This shows just how Poole based his master's image according to his appearance, and so the person in there cannot be him. This passage supports the theme of appearances that shape the opinions of other people.
