The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde

In «The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde», there is a rethinking of the traditional theme of duality typical of romanticism and the gothic novel through the lens of emerging science fiction, where the sinister doppelgänger gains freedom of action due to a split personality. By consuming a potion of his own making, Dr. Jekyll, a virtuous scientist, transforms into his terrifying doppelgänger Mr. Hyde, morally depraved and physically repulsive. The mysterious story of the enigmatic Henry Jekyll invokes an inexplicable horror with its mystery. The collection also includes mystical tales and stories by Stevenson.
