    Robert Louis Stevenson's chilling novella, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, delves into the duality of human nature through the respected Dr. Henry Jekyll, who scientifically isolates his own evil impulses into a separate, monstrous personality: Mr. Edward Hyde. As the lawyer Mr. Utterson investigates the increasingly sinister connection between his friend Jekyll and the repulsive Hyde, the story explores themes of reputation versus reality in Victorian society, the dangers of unchecked scientific ambition, the consequences of repressing one's darker side, and the terrifying potential for evil that exists within even the most respectable individuals, ultimately showing Jekyll's loss of control and descent into irreversible darkness.
