Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
"Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" by Robert Louis Stevenson serves two major requirements; it presents us with a shocking view of the most aberrational areas of our minds and how sometimes they are in conflict woth logic and societal norms and makes a chilling read of it. Therefore it is safe to say that it is a must read for anyone interested in psychological thrillers. The story, narrated by an omniscent third person point of view, focuses on certain incidents that occur in the life of Mr. Utterson, which lead him to revelations about his closest company. It involves the strange behaviour of Dr. Jekyll, a close friend of Mr. Utterson, Mr. Hyde, a widely abhorred figure of society that is charged with murder, a house with no windows, a strange laboratory, and some sort of legal connection between Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Why is it that Dr. Jekyll's health continues to decline? Why is it that Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde cannot be met together? What is the secret that haunts Jekyll leads him to a life of obscurity? These are just a few of the questions to be answered in this absolutely breathtaking mystery story.
