DR.JAKYLL AND MR. HYDE by R.L. Stevenson

• DR.JAKYLL AND MR. HYDE

• Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is the original title of a novella written by the Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson first published in 1886. The work is commonly known today as The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, or simply Jekyll & Hyde. It is about a London lawyer named Gabriel John Utterson who investigates strange occurrences between his old friend, Dr. Henry Jekyll, and the evil Edward Hyde.

It is very interesting scientific fiction about two sides of a person. Dr. Jackyll was a well reputed person in society. Everybody respected him. In the novel many bad incidents takes place at night. But at the end of the novel the mystery reveals that all this were done by Mr.Hyde. Who is Mr.Hyde?? Mr Hyde was no one but Dr. Jackyll.  it was done by someone called Mr. Hyde. 

Dr. Jekyll is a "large, well-made, smooth- faced man of fifty with something of a slyish cast",  who occasionally feels he is battling between the good and evil within himself, thus leading to the struggle between his dual personalities of Henry Jekyll and Edward Hyde. He has spent a great part of his life trying to repress evil urges that were not fitting for a man of his stature.

 He creates a serum, or potion, in an attempt to mask this hidden evil within his personality. However, in doing so, Jekyll transforms into the smaller, younger, cruel, remorseless, evil Hyde. Jekyll has many friends and has an amiable personality, but as Hyde, he becomes mysterious and violent. As time goes by, Hyde grows in power. 

After taking the potion repeatedly, he no longer relies upon it to unleash his inner demon, i.e., his alter ego. Eventually, Hyde grows so strong that Jekyll becomes reliant on the potion to remain
conscious.He ended the letter by saying, "I bring the life of that unhappy Henry Jekyll to an end." With these words, both the document and the novella come to a close.
