Sinopsis

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde is a gothic novella by Scottish author, Robert Louis Stevenson. It was originally published in 1886.

The story is about a legal practitioner in London, named Gabriel John Utterson, who investigates bizarre incidents that occur between his old friend, Dr. Henry Jekyll, and the evil Edward Hyde. The concept of one person having two personas, one outwardly good and the other sometimes shockingly evil inside, is reflected in this literary classic.

Over 130 years later, the phrase “Jekyll and Hyde” has entered common language to oftentimes describe duplicitous individuals with unpredictable, double personalities.

Excerpt:

“Hm,” said Mr. Utterson. “What sort of a man is he to see?”

“He is not easy to describe. There is something wrong with his appearance; something displeasing, something down-right detestable. I never saw a man I so disliked, and yet I scarce know why. He must be deformed somewhere; he gives a strong feeling of deformity, although I couldn’t specify the point. He’s an extraordinary looking man, and yet I really can name nothing out of the way. No, sir; I can make no hand of it; I can’t describe him. And it’s not want of memory; for I declare I can see him this moment.”
