Description: Dr Jekyll, a physician conscious of the duality in his own nature (the repressive nature of his middle-class character and his hidden desires for pleasure), discovers a drug by means of which he can resolve this conflict through creating for himself a separate personality embodying his evil instincts. This identity Jekyll assumes from time to time, by taking his chemical potion, and whom he calls Mr Hyde, gives reign to his evil impulses, as was planned. But as the drug gradually loses its efficacy and as Mr Hyde's ascendant on Jekyll grows, Jekyll finds himself unable to control his transformations into Hyde and incapable of putting an end to his outrageous behaviour Review: Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is an appealing romantic adventure and fantasy based upon the yearning of a man who dreamed of releasing his desires for pleasure and rebellion against moral and social codes. Through this beauty and beast of a man, Stevenson reveals his sound understanding of human nature and touches a common nerve in readers.
