"If he be Mr. Hyde," he had thought, "I shall be Mr. Seek."
Published by bernie4444 , 2 months ago
This is a novella that was written by the Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson and was first published in 1886. So, it may read a tad dated.
Atty. Mr. Utterson is worried, as the keeper of Dr. Henry Jekyll's will. The will gives everything to Edward Hyde in case of Henry's death or disappearance. Mr. Utterson meets the hideous Hyde once and does not trust him. Well, it looks like Henry's will, will have to be executed as the housekeeper; Mr. Pool thinks Hyde hid Henry's body.
Once again, I saw Spencer Tracy before I read the book, so I was anticipating a different type of story. I read "Treasure Island" so I am familiar with Stevenson's writing style, but I did not realize that this story was more of a mystery that draws the conclusion and revelation in the end. The explanation of man and his dual personality is excellent, and I suspect he draws on personal experience.
