Read the excerpt from The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

What he told me in the next hour, I cannot bring my mind to set on paper. I saw what I saw, I heard what I heard, and my soul sickened at it; and yet now when that sight has faded from my eyes, I ask myself if I believe it, and I cannot answer. My life is shaken to its roots; sleep has left me; the deadliest terror sits by me at all hours of the day and night; and I feel that my days are numbered, and that I must die; and yet I shall die incredulous. As for the moral turpitude that man unveiled to me, even with tears of penitence, I can not, even in memory, dwell on it without a start of horror.

Which theme is most implied by the excerpt?

Secrets ruin even strong friendships.

Remorse makes up for evil behavior.

Lies are often preferable to harsh truths.

Friends are loyal no matter the situation
