| Summary |
"Doktoro Jekyll kaj Sinjoro Hyde" by Robert Louis Stevenson is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book explores the duality of human nature through its central characters, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, delving deep into themes of morality, identity, and the struggle between good and evil. The tale is particularly renowned for illustrating the darker aspects of humanity, represented by Hyde, juxtaposed with Jekyll's more respectable and socially accepted self. The opening of the novel introduces Mr. Utterson, a lawyer, who is concerned about the connection between his friend Dr. Jekyll and the mysterious and malevolent Mr. Hyde. Utterson learns through a disturbing story told by his distant relative, Mr. Enfield, about Hyde's cruel behavior, including an incident where he tramples a young girl. This piques Utterson's interest, and he becomes determined to uncover the truth about Hyde, especially after discovering that Jekyll's will explicitly names Hyde as the sole heir in the event of Jekyll's disappearance. The tension builds as Utterson grapples with his increasing unease about his friend's association with the sinister Hyde, setting the stage for an exploration of the dualities within human nature.
