The moral message of Robert Louis Stevenson’s The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is that man’s soul is paired with both elements of good and evil. These basic elements cannot be separated because man is defined by the conflict within his inner nature and how he deals with this duality.

The novelette is told from a variety of points of view and focuses on the search for the connection between the saintly Jekyll and the demon Hyde and concludes with the doctor’s written confession of the experiments that ultimately render him permanently transformed into the Hyde figure.

The work is also known as The Strange Case of Jekyll Hyde, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, or simply Jekyll and Hyde. It is about a London legal practitioner named Gabriel John Utterson who investigates strange occurrences between his old friend, Dr Henry Jekyll, and the evil Edward Hyde.

A-Dr. Jekyll is ambitious and willing to take risks. Jekyll is ambitious and willing to take risks. …

“damned juggernaut” attacks the girl The noun “juggernaut” connotes Hyde’s inhuman power and the ability to kill. The adjective “damned” suggests that Hyde is doomed or somehow connected to the devil.

There is also a package containing Jekyll’s ‘confession’ and a letter asking Utterson to read Dr Lanyon’s letter which he left after his death (see Chapter 6) and is now in Utterson’s safe.

He asks around about Mr Hyde and begins watching the door at all hours. Finally, he meets Mr Hyde and is shocked by the sense of evil coming from him. Utterson seeks to warn Jekyll but is told by his butler, Poole, that Jekyll is away and that he has been instructed by Jekyll to let Hyde come and go as he pleases.

“Mr Hyde was pale and dwarfish, he gave an impression of deformity without any nameable malformation, he had a displeasing smile…” Utterson’s description of Hyde echoes Enfield’s description. The characters that meet Hyde are all convinced that something is “wrong” with him but cannot pinpoint what it is.
