Summary

"The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" by Robert Louis Stevenson is a chilling tale from the late 1800s that looks at the good and bad inside every person. Mr. Utterson, a lawyer, gets worried about Dr. Jekyll's strange will, which leaves everything to the weird Mr. Hyde if Jekyll vanishes. Utterson’s worry grows as he finds out more about Hyde. This worry is increased by a horrible act where Hyde hurts a child badly, and then Jekyll pays off the family. Utterson then tries to figure out who Hyde really is and how he's tied to Jekyll, leading him down a path of dark secrets and questions about what it means to be human, and the fight between good and evil.
