    Jekyll-Hyde relationship is discovered. Jekyll asserts that “he is one man but truly he is two,” and he imagines the human soul as the battleground for an “angel” and a “villain,” each struggling for mastery. Through these experiments, he brings Mr. Hyde into being, finding a way to convert himself in such a way that he fully becomes his shadier half. Perhaps Jekyll is simply mistaken: man is not “truly two” but is first and foremost the original creature alive in Hyde, brought under tentative control

In The Strange Case, Stevenson predominantly focuses on two individuals, Dr. Hyde and Dr. Jekyll, and focuses on the link between good and evil.

    to transform into Mr. Hyde, a rude man with an “unexpressed deformity” (Stevenson, 50) who seemed to have little to no control over what he did.
