The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
What If You Could Separate Good from Evil?
About the Original Novel
Robert Louis Stevenson’s 1886 masterpiece explores the duality of human nature through the tragic tale of Dr. Henry Jekyll, a respected London physician who discovers a way to chemically separate the good and evil aspects of his personality. What begins as a scientific experiment in moral purification becomes a nightmare as his evil alter ego, Edward Hyde, grows stronger and harder to control.
The novella shocked Victorian society with its exploration of humanity’s dark side and remains one of the most influential works of psychological horror ever written. The phrase “Jekyll and Hyde” has entered common language as shorthand for split personality and moral duality.
