I read the book named "Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" This book is really famous. I know that, but I have never read this story in my life. My every friends said that Jekyll and Hyde is very interesting story, so when I found this book in the box that my teacher gave us to choose one, I grabbed it and decided to read this.
The genre of this book is fantasy and horror. Maybe mystery, too. The setting is in London. The main characters in this book is Dr Jekyll, Mr Hyde and Mr Utterson. Dr Jekyll is a scientist and he's very nice person. He developed the chemical that divides people's good and evil. Mr Hyde is the man that's really ugly and mean. Every body might hate him. He is really close to Dr Jekyll. Mr Utterson is like a facilitator of this story. He's a lawyer. The story goes on by him. The story's perspective is him. That will make us like solving this creepy event.
Gabriel John Utterson the lawyer, was taking a walk, ugly person evoke a very unpleasant feeling named Hyde has trampled the girl impassively. Hyde went away and showed up again with a cash of 10 pounds and 90 pounds of check that famous gentleman Dr. Jekyll signed, and gave them to the girl's family. Dr. Jekyll was his friend and when he got a last will and testament, the heir of property was Mr Hyde. He thought really weird that the very nice person Dr Jekyll heir to very mean and ugly person Mr Hyde and he decided to find Mr Hyde. He searched for 1 year and the murder by Hyde was happened. few days later, Mr Utterson was called by the Dr Jekylls servant, Poole. He said Dr Jekyll was murdered by Hyde and he is in the study room. They broke the study room door and found Hyde's corpse, but they couldn't find Dr Jekyll's corpse. Finally, the truth of this mystery was Dr Jekyll was Mr Hyde. Mr Utterson couldn't believe it that they are same person. They are opposite personality. Dr Jekyll made the chemical that divide's the person's goo and bad. Other scientists said that's a terrible chemical, so he decided to drink by himself to show that this chemical works. Them, he turn in to Mr Hyde. Mr Hyde was a pure evil. Dr Jekyll felt very liberating being pure evil, so he welcomed Mr Hyde. He could turn back to Dr Jekyll when he drink same chemical again, but the time goes by, Dr Jekyll couldn't control Mr Hyde. The bad side of him getting stronger and stronger, even the chemical did not work. Mr Hyde murdered Dr Jekyll, which means commit suicide. That's why only Mr Hyde's corpse were there.
The most interesting passage was
"I felt a violent sickness in my stomach and a terrible pain in all my bones. The room seemed to turn round and round and I trembled with fear. Then the fear and pain disappeared and a strange, sweet feeling took its place. Wild thoughts danced though my mind. They were not good, serious thoughts. They were the wild passions of an evil and cruel stranger. But inside myself I felt younger, lighter, more carefree than ever before. " If this is pure evil,' I thought, ' I like it.'"
This is the scene that first time Dr Jekyll turn into Mr Hyde. This passage describes how pain when he is turning to Hyde and it's very lurid. I can imagine that he is turning to Hyde. This passage was really weird, but very interesting.
I like this story because I'm interested in psychology. I often read psychology books and I'm even thinking that study psychology in University. This story was about dual personality. That means one person has two different personalities. That's really strange, but interesting, isn't it? In psychology, they also call "Jekyll and Hyde" for dual personality. I didn't know why do they say Jekyll and Hyde, so this reading was very good to understand that. Now I'm one of who recommends this book to people. I really understand that why this book is really famous, this story is really fantastic. If you like mystery things, you should read this.
