The Strange Case Of Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde

The Strange Case Of Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde is the haunting tale of a young, idealistic young scientist named Henry Jekyll who is working to uncover the secrets of the human soul.

Testing various chemicals in his lab, Jekyll drinks a solution that he hopes will eliminate human evil. Instead, this formula does exactly the opposite, unleashing dark forces within him as he is transformed into the horrific, murderous Mr. Hyde.

A true science fiction classic, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde explores the nature of good and evil, the depths of personal struggle, and the contradictions and dualities that exist within.

Framed around London legal practitioner Gabriel John Utterson's investigations of strange occurrences between his old friend, Dr. Henry Jekyll, and the evil Edward Hyde, the story combines the drama and psychological tension of a thriller with deep psychological perceptions and ethical insights.

Today, Stevenson's novella is recognized as a literary classic, an insightful study of Victorian morality and psychological tension, as well as a pioneering tale of horror, science fiction, and thriller.

Critics have interpreted the richness of the story through the frameworks of religious allegory, fable, detective stories, sensation fiction, horror, Doppelgänger literature, science fiction, Scottish devil tales, and gothic novels.

The novella's impact is so far-reaching that it has become a part of the common language. The phrase "Jekyll and Hyde" now refers to people with an unpredictably dual nature: usually very good, but sometimes shockingly evil.
