An Essay on "The Strange Case of Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde"

In "The Strange Case of Dr.Jeckyll and Mr.Hyde", written by Robert Louis Stevenson, a man called Henry Jekyll had the idea to separate his good and bad side. For this, he created a potion but the results were not the expected. After creating the potion Mr.Hyde appeared and Henry Jekyll was not only Dr.Jekyll, he was also Mr.Hyde. He could not control his bad side, he should find a way or many people would be damaged. The author showed that everyone has a bad and good side as in this case Mr.Hyde and Dr.Jekyll.

Throughout the book, Dr.Jekyll was well known in London city. He was very smart, elegant and respected by everyone. Also, he was a scientist. When he created the potion he never thought the problems that would bring to him. Dr.Jekyll regreted making the potion, his bad side was not something he could control any longer. That bad side was called Mr.Hyde, he made disasters all over the city. The scientist Dr.Jekyll suffered the situation, friends from him were damaged by his own bad side and he could not do anything. No one should know his secret, if not he would be in serious problems. "I made this choice perhaps with some unconscious reservation", Dr.Jekyll said.

Mr.Hyde, on the other hand, did not feel anything that was not hatred. After doing his bad acts he was acting as nothing happened. He never regreted anything. He also took Dr.Jekyll's body at any time of the day. The evil creature made disasters all over London. Dr.Jekyll's friends, places, houses and a lot of people was suffering Mr.Hyde's crazy acts. People started searching for him but he was good and made it difficult. Mr.Hyde was full of hatred. The strange monster maybe did not realize what was he doing, he was made to be evil and the opposite from good. "The look of him, even in the distance, went somehow strongly against the watcher's inclination", the narrator said.

In "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr.Hyde", the author showed that everyone has a bad and good side as in this case Mr.Hyde and Dr.Jekyll.They were the opposite. Things did not finish as Dr.Jekyll expected, probably he had to be more careful at the time of making the potion. Reading this book made me realized we have to be careful when we do such complex things.
