    About this ebook


    The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a novella written by Robert Louis Stevenson and published in 1886. It is a gripping tale of the duality of human nature, exploring the themes of good and evil, morality, and identity. The story is set in Victorian London and follows the life of Dr. Henry Jekyll, a respected and wealthy physician, who becomes obsessed with the idea of separating the good and evil within himself.


    The story begins with Mr. Utterson, a lawyer, who is perplexed by the strange behavior of his friend Dr. Jekyll. He notices that Dr. Jekyll has become reclusive and has been seen in the company of an unsavory character named Mr. Hyde. Mr. Utterson becomes increasingly concerned when he learns that Dr. Jekyll has left his entire fortune to Mr. Hyde in his will.


    As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that Mr. Hyde is not just an unsavory character but is in fact the evil alter ego of Dr. Jekyll. Dr. Jekyll had created a potion that allowed him to transform into Mr. Hyde, giving him the freedom to indulge in his darkest desires without fear of judgment or consequence. However, as time goes on, the transformations become more frequent and unpredictable, leading to tragic consequences for those around him.


    The novella is a masterful exploration of the human psyche and the struggle between good and evil within each person. It highlights the dangers of repressing one's desires and urges, as well as the consequences of indulging in them without restraint. The character of Mr. Hyde represents the dark side of human nature, and Dr. Jekyll's struggle to control him represents the constant battle between good and evil within us all.


    The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a timeless classic that continues to captivate readers with its suspenseful plot, complex characters, and thought-provoking themes. It serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of unchecked ambition and the importance of understanding and accepting our own inner demons.

      Mar 9, 2018

      Has there, in American letters, at least, ever been a better noticer than John Updike?  By “noticer,” I don’t mean “writer of detail,” exactly.  There are many writers whose use of detail I find more narratively effective:  Saul Bellow, Joan Didion,
