Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr.

Hyde
Summary
The novel begins with "Mr. Utterson the lawyer" going for a walk with his friend and relative Mr. Enfield. They walk past a door, which somehow prompts Mr. Enfield to tell a sad story: a brute of a man knocked down a little girl, everyone yelled at the rude man, the man offered to pay a lot of money and disappeared through the door only to return with a large check drawn from Dr. Jekylls bank account. The nasty man? None other than Mr. Hyde.

Mr. Utterson, it turns out, is Dr. Jekylls lawyer, and we find out that in the event of Dr. Jekylls death or disappearance, his entire estate is to be turned over to Mr. Hyde. Mr. Utterson, who thinks highly of Dr. Jekyll, is extremely suspicious of this whole arrangement. He resolves to get to the bottom of this mystery. He hunts down Mr. Hyde and is suitably impressed with the evil just oozing out of Hydes pores. He then asks Dr. Jekyll about these odd arrangements. Dr. Jekyll refuses to comment, and there the matter rests until "nearly a year later."

Cut to "nearly a year later." A prominent politician is brutally beaten to death. The murder is conveniently witnessed by a maid, who points to evil-oozing Mr. Hyde as the culprit. Everyone tries to hunt down this evil man, but with no success. Meanwhile, Dr. Jekyll is in great health and spirits; he entertains his friends (among them one Dr. Lanyon), gives dinner parties, and attends to his religious duties. Two months later, both Dr. Lanyon and Dr. Jekyll fall terribly ill, and claim to have irrevocably quarreled with each other. Dr. Lanyon dies, leaving mysterious documents in Mr. Uttersons possession, to be opened only if Dr. Jekyll dies or disappears. Dr. Jekyll remains in seclusion, despite frequent visits from Mr. Utterson.

Finally, one evening, Dr. Jekylls butler visits Mr. Utterson at home. Hes worried about his master and is convinced of foul play. The butler persuades Mr. Utterson to return to Dr. Jekylls house, where they break into Dr. Jekylls laboratory. They find Mr. Hyde dead on the floor, with Dr. Jekyll nowhere to be found.

Mr. Utterson finds several documents left to him, and goes back home to read both Mr. Lanyons narrative and Dr. Jekylls narrative, which, it turns out, are two parts of the same story. Since were at the end of the story, author Robert Louis Stevenson figured it was about time to tell us what happened at the beginning. So we discover (through the documents left by the dead men) the following: by means of a potion, Dr. Jekyll was able to transform into Mr. Hyde and give in to a world of pleasure and self-serving crime. In his narrative, Dr. Jekyll writes that Mr. Hyde became ever more powerful and ever harder to control in essence, the dominant personality.

OTHER CHARACTER
Dr. Henry Jekyll/ Mr. Edward Hyde: This is the elderly gentleman at the center of the story who struggles with the dual nature of his personality. Although very kind and friendly to his friends, Dr. Jekyll has a dark side, which he chooses to express in the person of Mr. Hyde. Although he valiantly tries to keep Mr. Hyde away, eventually the dark side of his personality wins out, threatening his life. Mr. Richard Enfield: Enfield is the best friend of Utterson. He goes on weekly Sunday afternoon walks through the town with him. One Sunday, Enfield tells Utterson about Mr. Hyde and the strange house in which he lives. Dr. Hastie Lanyon: Lanyon is an elderly doctor who helps Utterson to solve the case when he describes the letter given to him by Jekyll. Lanyon is the one who witnesses Jekylls transformation into Hyde and he writes a letter to Utterson, before dying, to explain Jekyll's transformation.

Sir Danvers Carew: A kind, white haired, old man and important Member of Parliament. He was killed in the streets of London, on the night of October 18 (sometime between 11pm and 2am by the testimony of the maid), by Mr. Hyde in a murderous rage. He was 70 years old. He was however carrying on his person, at the time of his death, a letter addressed to Gabriel Utterson. As a result the police subsequently interviewed Utterson with regard to the murder. Although there is no clear reason for his murder, Carew openly greets Hyde immediately prior to the killing. Coupled with this, both characters have a direct link to Utterson.

FAVORITES CHARACTER
My favorites character came from the most I admire, which is not other than Mr. Utterson. I admire him because firstly, he is a peacemaker. He tried to make Dr. Jekyll and Dr. Lanyon eye to eye with each other. Secondly, Mr. Utterson was helpful and often offered assistance to Dr. Jekyll. For example, he was quite sure that Hyde was blackmailing Dr. Jekyll. Therefore, he thought of exposing Hydes own secrets, thus stopping the blackmailing. Besides, Mr. Utterson was also a concerned friend who cared for Dr. Jekylls well-being. He feared for Dr. Jekylls life, thinking that Hyde would kill the doctor because of the will. Finally, Mr. Utterson was also rational, a man of sense and authority. Hence, it is no wondered that many for example Poole, the police and Dr. Lanyon turned to him for help, advice and cooperation.

LIKE PART

He thinks that Edward Hyde is blackmailing Dr. Jekyll and that is why he is asked to prepare the will. Utterson wants to help his friend, Dr. Jekyll. So he decides that he will find out if Edward Hyde has done something worse than what Dr. Jekyll may have done. Poor Utterson does realize the Dr. Jekyll and Edward Hyde is the same person

So, he thinks about the case Mr. Hyde and Dr. Jekyll that Dr. Jekyll could put Mr. Hyde name to his will, and then Mr. Utterson could call other of his friend, Dr. Lanyon for thinking what Dr. Jekyll do.
