Description

“Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde” is a novella written by Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson. It was first published in 1886 and has since become a classic of English literature. The story is a classic tale of duality and the human capacity for both good and evil.

The novella follows the character of Dr. Henry Jekyll, a well-respected and successful London doctor and scientist. Dr. Jekyll becomes obsessed with the idea of separating the good and evil sides of human nature and concocts a potion that allows him to transform into a different persona, Mr. Edward Hyde. Hyde is a sinister and malevolent figure who indulges in immoral and criminal behavior.

As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that Dr. Jekyll’s transformations into Mr. Hyde are not as controllable as he initially thought. His experiments with the dual nature of humanity lead to a series of dark and destructive events, and he struggles to contain the malevolent Hyde within himself.

“Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” explores themes of the duality of human nature, the consequences of unchecked ambition, and the moral and ethical implications of one’s actions. It is a cautionary tale about the dangers of suppressing one’s inner demons and the potential for evil that resides within us all.

The novella has been adapted into numerous films, plays, and other forms of media, and the character of Mr. Hyde has become a symbol of the darker aspects of human nature. It continues to be a widely studied and influential work in the realm of Gothic literature and psychological horror.
