"Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" by Robert Louis Stevenson explores the duality of human nature through the tragic story of Dr. Henry Jekyll, a respected scientist who creates a potion that transforms him into the malevolent Mr. Hyde. As Hyde, Jekyll indulges his darker impulses without consequence, leading to a series of violent acts. However, the transformation spirals out of control, blurring the lines between his two identities. The novella examines themes of morality, identity, and the inherent struggle between good and evil within each individual, culminating in a chilling confrontation with the darker side of humanity.
