Stevenson, Robert Louis. The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. 2005. 160p. ISBN 1416500219. Available at FIC STE on the library shelves.
Can man ever separate himself from his baser instincts and become wholly good? Dr. Jekyll is a most appreciated doctor, whose company is sought out by everyone. Yet, he has a terrible secret. Mr. Hyde is a violent, vicious and deformed man. Every time he meets someone, that individual feels an air of evilness about him. He, too, has a secret.
This is a tale of danger and warning about the dual nature of humankind, the fight between good and evil that takes place inside all of us. An instant success when it was first published in 1866, this story endures and remains read today because of its appeal and of the universal truths it contains.
