Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde – Robert Louis Stevenson

"Man is not truly one, but truly two."

The respectable Dr. Henry Jekyll creates a potion that separates the good and evil aspects of his personality. He transforms into the monstrous Edward Hyde, allowing him to indulge his darkest vices without consequence. But as Hyde grows stronger, Jekyll loses control, and the separation becomes a fight for his soul and his life.

Stevenson's novella is a chilling psychological thriller. It gave the world the phrase 'Jekyll and Hyde' to describe a split personality. It explores the duality of human nature and the hypocrisy of Victorian society, which demanded outward respectability while hiding inner corruption.
