The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was written by Robert Louis Stevenson. I personally thought the book was pretty good and interesting because I like all this weird magic type stuff with having 2 personalities and all of Jekyll’s transformations to Hyde kind of relating to bad habits. I just mostly like all these fictional stories because they open up an amazing imagination of what most wish could be, but won’t, so they get to read fictional books or movies/shows to experience a whole new special world.
One thing this book made me question, is how is it, when you’re a whole new or different person, the old you are still conscious, because Jekyll in the story says he doesn’t like doing the things he does as Hyde, so if you were still conscious in someone else body, wouldn’t you be able to stop your actions? It all made me pretty confused but that’s exactly why I love fiction. Wonder.
On the other hand, the ending, the ending made me a bit sad seeing a man that used to love his life now commit suicide (I believe so) just because someone else ruined it, and he had no power no more than say in the situation. Jekyll even said, that if it weren’t for his fear of death, he would have suicided a lot earlier. Even though it had quite a sad ending, the book was absolutely great and I hope to read more like it.
