The Strange Case Of Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde

Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is the original title of a novel by the Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson, first published in 1886. The work is now generally known as The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. It is about a London lawyer named Gabriel John Utterson, who investigates strange incidents between his old friend Dr. Henry Jekyll and the evil Edward Hyde. The work is commonly associated with the rare mental condition often mistakenly referred to as "split personality", and in psychiatry, it is referred to as "dissociative identity disorder", where more than one different personality exists within the same body. In this case, there are two personalities within Dr. Jekyll, one seemingly good and one evil. The impact of the novel is so great that it has become part of the language, whereby the term "Jekyll and Hyde" refers to a person who varies greatly in moral character from one situation to the next.
