I really enjoyed reading The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson. The dark, mysterious mood of the story grabbed my attention right away, and I was fascinated by the way it explored identity, morality, and the human mind. From the start, the strange character of Mr. Hyde caught my interest, and as the story went on, I became more curious about the relationship between him and Dr. Jekyll. Stevenson created a lot of suspense, keeping me eager to find out the truth behind their connection.
What I liked most about the book was how it showed that good and evil are not completely separate but are part of the same person. Dr. Jekyll’s struggle to control the darker side of himself, represented by Mr. Hyde, made me think about how everyone has their own inner battles. The way Jekyll changes into Hyde after drinking the potion was a powerful way to show how easy it is to give in to bad instincts when there are no consequences. I also found it interesting how Hyde represented the parts of society that people often hide or ignore. His complete lack of care for others made him the opposite of Jekyll, who tried to be good and respectable. This made the story both a thrilling mystery and a warning about the dangers of hiding or ignoring darker feelings.
The way the story was told kept me hooked. The mystery, told through letters and key moments, made me want to keep reading. Stevenson revealed the connection between Jekyll and Hyde bit by bit, and when the truth came out, it was both surprising and made sense. The book made me think about the darker side of human nature, and I liked that it didn’t give simple answers. It left me thinking about it long after I finished, especially about the good and bad sides that we all have within ourselves.
