The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

Published in 1886, Robert Louis Stevenson’s famous novella is a classic work of Gothic literature. The plot centers on the respectable Dr. Jekyll, who, through scientific experiments, creates a potion capable of separating his good side from his evil nature. Thus emerges his alter ego—the cruel and ruthless Mr. Hyde. The work explores the duality of human nature, the struggle between good and evil within every individual, and the dangers of scientific experiments that transcend the boundaries of ethics and morality.
