The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Robert Louis Stevenson

Dr. Jekyll, a generous and philanthropic physician, is preoccupied with the problem of good and evil, and how to separate them. He develops a drug that will transform him into the demonic Mr. Hyde, in whose person he can exhaust all the latent evil in his nature. He also creates an antidote that will restore him to his respectable existence as Dr. Jekyll. Gradually, however, the unmitigated evil of his darker self begins to predominate. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a story about the good and evil forever struggling to control the soul of a man.
