Robert Louis
STEVENSON (1886), The Strange Case of Doctor Jekyll and Mister Hyde
Guillermo García, 2º Bachillerato EFL
Mr. Utterson is a well known London lawyer
who becomes interested after hearing about Dr. Jekyll and his close
relationship with a really bizarre man called Mr. Hyde. The lawyer becomes obsessed
and carries out an investigation in which he finds out that Dr Jekyll wrote Mr.
Hyde's name in his will. That seems very weird to Mr. Utterson and he becomes
even more obsessed than he was before. Mr. Hyde brutally murders a member of Parliament
and after this, Dr. Jekyll locks himself up in his laboratory. Mr. Utterson
goes to the laboratory a few days later and finds that Dr. Jekill had commited
suicide, he looks in one of his diarys where it is explained that Mr. Jekyll
and Mr Hyde are the same person, Mr hyde suffered split personality due to a
potion he had invented.
I really enjoyed reading this piece of
classic literature, especially because I loved its mysticism and because I think
it is such a unique story. Another reason why I liked it is because all the
plot occurs in London, where I live at the moment. The only thing I didn´t
quite like about it is that sometimes the plot is a bit slow.
