Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (Version 5)

Book cover
By: (1850-1894)

In Robert Louis Stevenson's "Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," readers are taken on a thrilling journey through the inner conflict of a man torn between his good and evil sides. The novella masterfully intertwines themes of duality, morality, and the consequences of unchecked ambition.

The character of Dr. Jekyll is a fascinating exploration of the human psyche, as he grapples with the dark impulses that reside within him. Stevenson's writing is rich with vivid descriptions and suspenseful moments that keep readers on the edge of their seats.

The transformation of Jekyll into Hyde is both shocking and thought-provoking, leading to a gripping climax that leaves a lasting impact. The moral implications of Jekyll's actions serve as a cautionary tale about the dangers of succumbing to one's darker impulses.

Overall, "Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" is a timeless classic that continues to captivate readers with its haunting narrative and complex characters. Stevenson's exploration of the human condition is as relevant today as it was when the novella was first published, making it a must-read for anyone interested in delving into the depths of human nature.

Book Description:
This story deals with the obvious fact that we humans are split, dual. We have urges to do the 'right' thing, to be honorable and wise, but we also frequently fail to follow these better instincts and follow instead urges to do dishonorable, evil things. We seem to battle within ourselves. Are we really composed of two different personalities housed within the same brain, within the same person? Dr Jekyll in this story is so convinced and manages by scientific means to actually split himself into his ordinary composite self, and his evil self whom he calls Mr. Hyde. The horror of this unnatural split is well documented here and shows what might happen were this possible.

Subject: don't judge a book by it's cover!
A wise man once said (and I am paraphrasing here)....."It's not the story it's the reader" although I do quite enjoy the readers voice.. It's quite monotone. And that's ok for some books... needed in some cases, although it can make some books long and boring. I think that mixed voices would have been better in this case such as the READERS'S in "Alice Through The Looking Glass" and other stories with a plethora of readers.
