Introduction
Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde: Dr. Jekyll is a wealthy, respectable ‘Samaritan’. But deep in his heart there is evil lurking and stirring. He cannot help thinking of doing evil things, so he invents a potion to release the hard-oppressed nature. His appearance changes as his heart changes. A debonair gentleman turns into a despicable, uncouth devil—Hyde. Good and evil co-exist in Jekyll. Stevenson had long been intrigued by the idea of how personality could affect men. People are impressed by the entirely different personalities of Jekyll and Hyde, even the names ‘Jekyll and Hyde’ became a substitute term for ‘split personality’. Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a pioneer in psychological novels. Its vivid narration, taut and tense storyline make it a suspense detective-like movie.
