The Strange Case Of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde
The novel begins with Mr. Utterson going for a walk with his friend and relative Mr. Enfield. They walk past a door, which somehow prompts Mr. Enfield to tell a sad story: A brute man has knocked down a little girl, everyone has yelled at the rude man and the man has offered to pay a lot of money for the accident and he disappears through the door only to return with a large check drawn from Dr. Jekyll’s bank account.
All begins when Dr. Jekyll invent a potion, that in the night, turns Jekyll into Mr. Hyde, a brutal assassin.
Mr. Utterson is Dr. Jekyll’s lawyer, and we find out that in the event of Dr. Jekyll’s death or disappearance, his entire estate is to be turned over to Mr. Hyde. Mr. Utterson, who thinks highly of Dr. Jekyll, is extremely suspicious of this whole arrangement and he resolves to get to the bottom of this mystery. He hunts down Mr. Hyde and he is suitably impressed with the evil just oozing out of Hyde’s pores. He then asks Dr. Jekyll about these odd arrangements. Dr. Jekyll refuses to comment, and there the matter rests until “nearly a year later.”Suddenly, a prominent politician is brutally beaten to death. The murder is conveniently witnessed by a maid, who points to evil-oozing Mr. Hyde as the culprit.
Everyone tries to hunt down this evil man, but with no success. Meanwhile, Dr. Jekyll is in great health and spirits; he entertains his friends (among them one Dr. Lanyon), gives Dr. Jekyll fall terribly ill, and claim to have irrevocably quarrelled with each other. Dr. Lanyon dies, leaving mysterious documents in Mr. Utterson’s possession, to be opened only if Dr. Jekyll dies or disappears. Dr Jekyll remains in seclusion, despite frequent visits from Mr. Utterson.
Finally, one evening, Dr. Jekyll’s butler visits Mr. Utterson at home. He is worried about his master and is convinced of foul play. The butler persuades Mr. Utterson to return to Dr. Jekyll’s house, where they break into Dr. Jekyll’s laboratory. They find Mr. Hyde dead on the floor, with Dr. Jekyll nowhere to be found.
Mr. Utterson finds several documents left to him, and goes back home to read both Dr. Lanyon’s narrative and Dr. Jekyll’s narrative, which are two parts of the same story. Since we are at the end of the story, author Robert Louis Stevenson figured it was about time to tell us what happened at the beginning. So we discover (through the documents left by the dead men) the following: by means of a potion, Dr. Jekyll has been able to transform into Mr. Hyde and give into a world of pleasure and self-serving crime. In his narrative, Dr. Jekyll writes that Mr Hyde becomes ever more powerful and ever harder to control, so Jekyll decided to kill himself because it was the only way to stop Mr. Hyde.
