"Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" is a Gothic novella by Scottish author
Robert Louis Stevenson. The story follows Gabriel John Utterson, a London-
based legal practitioner who investigates a series of strange occurrences
between his old friend Dr. Henry Jekyll and a murderous criminal named Edward
Hyde. The novella is considered to be a defining book of the gothic horror
genre and has had a sizable impact on popular culture. Stevenson had long been
intrigued by the idea of how human personalities can reflect the interplay of
good and evil. The novella is frequently interpreted as an examination of the
duality of human nature, usually expressed as an inner struggle between good
and evil. Addiction or substance abuse is also considered a central theme in
the novella. The book's success was probably due rather to the "moral
instincts of the public" than to any conscious perception of the merits of its
art. The novella has inspired as many interpretations as it has film
adaptations.
