I want to write about my book report today, since I was absent from last class.
I guess all of you have ever heard the title of this book. This is a story of a man who has dual personality. The author, R. L. Stevenson, depicted the dark part of human being in this story.
To begin with, Mr. Hyde is Dr. Jekyll, though Edward Hyde looks completely different from Henry Jekyll. Edward is written as an evil, brutal person, and, on the other hand, Henry is written as a kind and friendly person. However, Jekyll made a medicine to divide his dark individuality, namely Mr. Hyde. He did such a crazy thing because he did have a strong desire to enjoy misdeed without losing honor. In addition, finally he came not to be the gentle doctor: he was captured by dark. These facts clearly show that Henry Jekyll is actually a brutal person, even if he is recognized as a gentleman.
It is really strange case; there is no medicine to divide one’s evil face, so nobody can be really like Dr. Jekyll. Anyone have evil face, however. People sometimes say about some criminals, “I cannot believe that he did such a terrible crime because he was peaceful and kind,” for instance. Mr. Hyde exists in the mind of all people. This story tells the readers that how human beings are avid, and let them know the darkness in their mind, through the miserable death of a man who weltered in darkness.
