Dr Jekyll has been obsessed since early manhood by the uneasy duality of good and evil he senses in himself and others, and is driven to tamper with the mysterious and transcendental side of science. The doctor becomes inexplicably silent and reclusive, while at the same time the terrifying Mr Edward Hyde begins to stalk the streets At heart a chilling tale of the perils of ambition and hubris, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde reflects many of the preoccupations of Stevensons own Victorian milieu - the dangers of a morbidly repressive society, and the post-Darwinian fear of mans beast nature
