Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
Overview & Summary
Respected London physician Dr. Henry Jekyll develops a potion that separates his good and evil impulses into two distinct physical forms, allowing him to indulge his darkest urges as the brutal Mr. Hyde without consequence to his reputation -- until Hyde's violence spirals out of Jekyll's control entirely. Robert Louis Stevenson's 1886 novella is a foundational exploration of the duality of human nature, and "Jekyll and Hyde" has entered the language as shorthand for split personality.
