Everyone is a Dr. Jekyll, Everyone has a Mr. Hyde

When I said, "She's a Jekyll and Hyde", it means she has both the evil and good personality. Is it right that everyone has their good and bad side? Is it really possible for someone who is thoroughly nice and at the same time is freaking evil? I am, I guess.

I like this story from the start, at the moment I heard the title, at the moment when my teacher spoke up the story. Till now, I still like the story, although some of the details has melted away from my mind now.

The story was about Dr. Henry Jekyll who made an experiment to prove that human soul was made from two separate distinctions, good and bad. He made two potions which one of them transformed him into Edward Hyde. Soon Dr. Jekyll realized that the Hyde character became inalterable where he stated, "I had gone to bed Henry Jekyll, I had awakened Edward Hyde". Jekyll then decided to give up the freedom of  Hyde, but he was tortured by Hyde's longing and once again took the potion and brutally murdered Carew. Soon, the potion failed to work, left Jekyll with no choice but killed himself to stop Hyde from his bad deeds.

My favourite character is the first ever mentioned, the lawyer Mr Utterson. I think of him as the lead character, (although he was merely an important supporting character) as he was the one looking for the answer of the mystery. He was the trusted friend of Dr. Jekyll, lovable, and cared about him. He was present in almost every chapters!

Throughout the story, a lot of questions pop out from my mind. Why Dr Jekyll let Mr Hyde free? Dr Jekyll realized he could transform into Mr Hyde, then didn't it mean he still had a complete control over himself and Hyde altogether? I should explore about this more. ;)
