The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Essay

“The Strange Case of Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde”
By Robert Lois Stevenson

“The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” by Robert Lois Stevenson. It talks about how a scientist called Henry Jekyll divides the human soul into its good and bad side. By doing this, something unexpected happens with the potion and he kills himself and his “bad side” (which is called, Mr. Hyde). There are three themes that we took into account. 1. The duality of human nature. 2. The importance of reputation. & 3. The guilty vs the innocent.

1. The duality of human nature tries to show what the division of the human soul can symbolize. It symbolizes that we are made of supposedly  “evil side” and a “good side”. In the story , Hyde starts to dominate Jekyll till he kills Jekyll. At the beginning, Utterson can not believe that Jekyll and Hyde are the same person. Hyde's appearance makes him look like a primitive animal and also by showing how he reacts depending on the situation. "Between these two I now felt I had to choose. My two natures had memory in common, but all other faculties were most unequally shared between them. Jekyll (Who was a composite)" [...] "But Hyde was indifferent to Jekyll".

2. The Importance of reputation mainly talks about how Jekyll and Hyde try not to make the potion public and also, Hyde public. Jekyll only tell it to their two trully trusted friends, Utterson and Enfield. Utterson suspects Jekyll of hiding Hyde from the police from the murder because of his reputation and also of his friendship with Utterson. "But mostly to preserv the order" nd don't make everyone enter in panic. "My good Utterson" [...] " I believe you fully; I would trust you before any man alive".

3. The Guilty vs the Innocent explains the characters in a way that Hyde and Jekyll are the guilty ones. Jekyll can be guilty for making the posion but innocent for do not knowing that Hyde would kill him. Hyde is guilty for the murder of the little girl. Utterson, Poole and Enfield are innocents about being trully and trusty friends with Jekyll but they are guilty about not telling the truth. The most important things in the Victorian era is the reputation and being well-known in that time. "I thus drew steadily nearer to that truth by whose partial discovery I have been doomed to such a dreadful shipwreck".

Finally, the themes can show lots of details of the characters that are not written in the book. For example, they can explain why Utterson and Enfield never talked about Hyde or the potion. They show the division of the soul and which characters are guilty and which ones are innocent. These are some of the themes I think that are the most important ones. In my opinion the most important one, and complete is the one of the duality of human nature.

The Ones That Got Away.

They were happy together, the six of them, even though three of them never talked to each other, they still held their relation. One day when James, Richard and Jeremy returned home to find their friends, they weren't there anymore. But... How could such irrational friends leave that place? Richard couldn't believe it, it's difficult to find such gorgeous friends in a luxurious place, they could be anywhere with anyone in any country. The three of them decided to go to their best driver on the BBC Channel, the Stig, an unknown and friendly guy. Maybe he looks a little bit serious, be he has the greatest sense of humor they had ever seen. They couldn't understand the situation...
Jeremy: "My best friend is gone, I mean, our best friends"
James: "Right, let's go for them"
Richard: "But... WHERE?!"
James: "Palestina? Irak? Korea?!
Jeremy: "Guys, calmn down, let's go to Las Vegas"
Eighteen hours later, they were in Las Vegas. They could only found Richard's friend, so there were two left.
Later on, they went to California and the found Jeremy's friend on a garage. Richard and Jeremy were happy but James wasn't. Jeremy went to help James while Richard and Stig were racing. Jeremy and James went to Chicago, but nothing, later, they went to Los Angeles and still no sight of his best friend. They decided to went to Dallas, Texas, and there he was, he was with an anonymous guy. James and Jeremy went talking to that guy to get to an agreement, if they pay him 20 million dollars, he would return them their friend. And they did, so, they returned home the three of them.
When they returned, they found, Richard's best friend (a Zonda R), Stig and Richard. They had the great idea of going to the cinema to watch 47 Ronin but when the movie finished, they were angry so they went to Planet Taco and they also played Bowling. The next morning, they went to the beach and to the rollercoaster,As they were boring, they decided to compare their best friends, because they were cars, so they compared who's best friend or who's car was better. They didn't agree so Stig decided to invite them all to McDonald's for an ice-cream. Finally, Stig went home and the six of them went to live to Calfornia, enjoy races, eating together, watching races or films together, working for the BBC Channel together, everything together.
Richard's car (or his best friend) was a Zonda R, Jeremy's car (or his best friend) was a Porsche GT3 and James car (or his best friend) was a Bentley Continental V8. Stig's car was a Ferrari FF, his favorite car. The six of them were one to each other but Stig never considered the idea of having cars as best friends just because they were not humans and also because he didn't know how to call a car.They also had a channel called Top Gear.
As they got older and lost their passion for cars,
they decided to sell their best friends, something difficult but possible. And they did it, they sold them for a very high price to rich and famous people. And that was the last time they ever saw them.
