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

Evil besides (which I must still believe to be the lethal side of man) had left on that body an imprint of deformity and decay. And yet when I looked upon that ugly idol in the glass, I was conscious of no repugnance, rather of a leap of welcome. This, too, was myself. It seemed natural and human.

What does the excerpt suggest about Dr. Jekyll?

He is judgmental about people’s behavior.
He is not ashamed of his own “dark” side.
He is proud of his professional accomplishments.
He is eager to introduce Dr. Hyde to his friends.

He is not ashamed of his own “dark” side.

The passage shows Jekyll feeling no repugnance at the ugly reflection (Hyde), even a "leap of welcome," and recognizing it as a natural part of himself.
