Jose Garza "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde"

“Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde”, a story of one person with two minds from the perspective of another. It is told in the third person view of a lawyer that answered to the name Mr. Utterson and was a close friend of Jekyll’s so he knew him well. When a murder occurs in the middle of the night, Mr. Utterson was called to decide who the murderer was and why. A woman that had witnessed the murder tells the lawyer that it was Mr. Hyde. He comes to the conclusion that it was sudden rage from a random passerby. But after a closer study of the victim’s body and a series of events the “Random” theory turns into something more planned. After a few days of searching, Mr. Utterson finds Dr. Jekyll in his home. Mr. Poole, Jekyll’s elderly servant fetches Dr. Jekyll. Utterson is very concerned about his old friend. He worries about Jekyll’s association with Mr. Hyde and Dr. Jekyll’s will dedications. In Jekyll’s will it seems that the good doctor was forced to give all his belongings to Hyde, like it was written against his will. Yet Jekyll seems unperturbed by this fact. Nothing makes sense about the situations in this book. Although if the reader can stick to it and read on, everything comes together with a horrifying twist at the end that leave the reader wanting more and with even more questions than to begin with. I personally think it was a good book. I found it hard to finish but the conclusion was a mix of satisfaction and wonderment. “Is Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde one in the same?” or “Are they two separate beings that share the same physical attachment?” and my favorite question of all, “What are the limits of human emotions?”
