Jekyll and Hyde homework

Hi so I've been given homework and have no idea what to write about or how to structure it. This is the question:

How does Stevenson present Lanyon?

Any idea would be appreciated
He’s very morally upright, the opposite of Jekyll and Stevenson uses Lanyon as a character to compare Jekyll against, in a way.
This is because Lanyon represents moral science, he doesn’t push boundaries whereas Jekyll is more comfortable with exploring the supernatural and turning into Hyde. He also represents the time very well in the sense that the people were religious and what Jekyll did would have been frowned upon.
Lanyon was the Puritan view of science and that’s why what Jekyll did shocked him enough that he ended up dying.
I won’t lie, I haven’t done GCSE English in a while so sorry if the answer is wrong, I know that there are some really good answers if you also search up your question!
