"The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" by Robert Louis Stevenson is a novella written during the late 19th century that delves into the duality of human nature and the struggle between good and evil. The narrative follows Mr. Utterson, a lawyer, as he investigates the mysterious relationship between his friend, Dr. Jekyll, and the sinister Mr. Hyde, uncovering dark secrets that test the boundaries of morality. At the start of the novella, we meet Mr. Utterson and his distant cousin, Mr. Enfield, who discuss a strange door that Enfield associates with a disturbing story about Hyde trampling a young girl and displaying an unsettling demeanor. Utterson becomes increasingly intrigued by Hyde, especially when he discovers that Hyde stands to inherit Jekyll's wealth upon the doctor's disappearance. The text evokes a sense of foreboding as Utterson grapples with his concerns for Jekyll's welfare while unraveling the enigma surrounding Hyde, whose appearance elicits an inexplicable sense of dread. As the tale unfolds, it sets the stage for a profound exploration of identity, shame, and the darker aspects of human behavior. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
