Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a novella written by Robert Louis Stevenson, first published in 1886. The story revolves around the complex relationship between Dr. Henry Jekyll, a respected scientist, and his alter ego, Mr. Edward Hyde, a violent and immoral creature.

Set in Victorian London, the narrative explores themes of duality, identity, and the nature of evil. Dr. Jekyll creates a potion that allows him to transform into Mr. Hyde, enabling him to indulge in his darkest desires without the constraints of his respectable persona. As Hyde's actions become increasingly brutal and uncontrollable, Jekyll struggles with the consequences of his experiment.

The novella is notable for its exploration of the human psyche and the moral dilemmas associated with the dual nature of humanity. Through the character of Mr. Hyde, Stevenson delves into the idea that everyone possesses both good and evil within them. The tension between these aspects ultimately leads to tragic consequences, culminating in a dramatic and thought-provoking conclusion.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde has become a classic of English literature, inspiring numerous adaptations and discussions about the duality of human nature. Its enduring relevance lies in its examination of the struggle between societal expectations and personal desires, making it a pivotal work in the gothic and psychological fiction genres.
