Upon reading the novel The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson I would not have guessed there being such a controversy or existing reason behind simply the names of the characters involved. With such a dark path and background foreshadowing the novel I could have seen some sort of controversy in how the story may have been portrayed and understood, but there is an audience of readers that believe that there is something more behind the book. Digging deep within the story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde it proves to me that there is reason to believe that the names of the characters were chosen for a specific reason. The three characters that stood out when reading The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde would be
Robert Louis Stevenson introduces the mystery of the evil Mr. Edward Hyde—early in the novel, but he does not provide a solution to the mystery until the end. The reader’s first encounters with Hyde as another person, in a story told to Gabriel. John Utterson, a lawyer friend of Dr. Henry Jekyll, by Richard Enfield, who saw Hyde crushing a child. Because Jekyll recently has changed his will to leave all of his money to Hyde, Utterson had curiosity and begins to investigate. He fears that Hyde is blackmailing Jekyll and plans to murder him.
With the mind and body of Mr. Hyde, both stronger than their original selves, comes a “furious propensity to ill” leading him to commit acts – namely, the murder of Sir Danvers Carew
Dissociative identity disorder, also known as a split personality disorder or multiple personality disorder is a condition that causes a person to express different personalities that are independent and react differently in the environment. As it suggests, someone with dissociative identity disorder displays very different personalities that swap in and out at different intervals, and typically each persona does not recall what the other personality did. This is something that is seen quite often with the character Dr. Jekyll in the 1931 film Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, based off of Robert Louis Stevenson’s Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. In the movie, one of the main characters, Dr. Jekyll, creates an elixir that allows him to split his personality in two. This other personality is known as Mr. Hyde.
Through out this story of Jekyll and Hyde, it was obvious that one was good and the other evil and seemed liked two different people. Dr. Jekyll, tall, a man of character, the stature, good taste and good friends. Mr. Hyde, a terrible murderer with nothing but evil to portray, no sense of reason and with out compassion. Both characters with the lawyer as the only connection due to the will from Jekyll leaving everything to Hyde. Even in the conversations between them left Jekyll referring to Hyde as "him"; " I only ask you to help him for my sake, when I am no longer here."
These words show up in Jekyll's admission, close to the end of Part 10, and they check the time when Hyde at long last and inalterably starts to rule the Jekyll-Hyde relationship; Jekyll starts to change into his darker self suddenly, without the guide of his mixture, keeping in mind wide wakeful. In the specific case depicted in the section, it just takes a solitary prideful thought to impact the change—in spite of the fact that that idea goes ahead the heels of a Jekyll's plunge into his old, pre-Hyde intemperance. As somewhere else, the novel gives no points of interest here of the careful sins included in Jekyll's "brief haughtiness to malevolence," and along these lines when he specifies "the creature inside me licking the cleaves of memory,"
Within the novel, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, by Robert Louis Stevenson, there stands a strange case of good versus evil. However, this story has no great villain or even a valiant hero, it has only a man fighting with his vices and dark urges and desires, which grow darker, more morbid and perverted at the novel goes on. Then, as a means to free himself of such darkness and “evil,” the man creates an antidote or rather cocktail of drugs to help him in such matter. Only problem being, the cocktail separates his psyche in two and with the two sides released from each other. The darkness the bad is allowed to grow and lash out unattended and unblocked.
Summary of “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” The book “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” by Robert Louis Stevenson is about the struggle between good and evil.

“We’ve all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we chose to act on. That’s who we really are” I believe Davidson would agree as well as Dr. Jekyll would. Dr. Jekyll hated the evil within. He wanted so badly to separate his good from his bad side.
5During the entire semester, the ability to create new knowledge from a critical perspective has been the main focus.

At some points, Mr. Hyde doesn’t even seem like he is human at all. He encompasses a messy laboratory and is both violent and cruel.

The doppelgangers are now completely in control of Jekyll and Dorian’s lives, inhibiting their abilities to live life normally. On one pleasant day, Jekyll found himself sitting on a park bench, content with just observing the scenery. He suddenly began to “feel a change in the temper of [his] thoughts” and when he looked down, “[he] was once more Edward Hyde” (Stevenson 78).

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde For the past couple of weeks I’ve been reading The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. While reading I figured out multiple of themes. The themes I am about to explain are extremely crucial on the book and its message. The first theme is the dreadful and suspenseful lack of communication.
Theme is the main idea, often an abstract idea in which the essay or novel try to build upon. Both of these stories are compose of different ideas that helps to send the message of the story to the reader.

An allegory is shown when reader view Jekyll and Hyde because of their exact representation of good and evil that exist within all people of society.
