“The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” by Robert Louis Stevenson was a familiar title to me and prior to reading it I believed I was well versed about the story.

“The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll And Mr Hyde” is a novella written in the Victorian era, more specifically in 1886 by Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson. When the novella was first published it had caused a lot of public outrage as it clashed with many of the views regarding the duality of the soul and science itself. The audience can relate many of the themes of the story with Stevenson’s personal life. Due to the fact that Stevenson started out as a sick child, moving from hospital to hospital, and continued on that track as an adult, a lot of the medical influence of the story and the fact that Jekyll’s situation was described as an “fateful illness” is most likely due to Stevenson’s unfortunate and diseased-riddled life. Furthermore the author had been known to dabble in various drugs, this again can be linked to Jekyll’s desperate need and desire to give in to his darker side by changing into Mr Hyde.
At the end of the nineteenth century, Robert Louis Stevenson published his novella, The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. The fin de siècle saw the rise of different thoughts and ideas surrounding science and society. Late-Victorian psychology began to explore deeper into the mind, society grew weary of degeneration, and a new century was upon them which brought its own fears. Stevenson’s story played upon the many changes society was facing during this time. He took the scientific interest and created the character of Dr Jekyll, a scientist who created a potion that would unlock his inner, uninhibited self. These concoctions create a “mad scientist” effect and create an uncertainty around these scientific advancements of the fin de siècle. The evidence of multiplex personalities, or multiple personalities, in Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is a representation of mental illness. From Mr Hyde’s physical appearance to the transition between Jekyll and Hyde, these attributes explore the new
Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was a cartoon horror story written by Marsha Hatfield. They made the story about a Doctor that was drinking potions from another side of his body. The other side of his body of course was, no other than, Mr. Hyde. The potion drinking got to a point where Mr. Hyde would control Dr. Jekyll’s body and he wouldn’t be able to control it. Mr. Hyde would cause mayhem in his body and made him get in lots of trouble. At first, he would only drink 2 potions to control it but then it got to the point where he added another potion, and overdosed. He died in his study. Marsha upheld the horror genre by making Mr. Hyde look very creepy, and made it to where the potion drinking went too far to where he died. She made the mood for herself, and readers very odd. She left them off thinking in this story or why he created the potions in the first place. The setting when Mr. Hyde would come in also made it spooky because it got different. Plus, Mr. Hyde was very mean to everyone and Dr. Jekyll

Stevenson's Use of Technique to Present Character and Atmosphere in The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, a story based in the eighteenth-century, displays the tension of science vs. religion and the fear of technology spiralling out of control. Dr. Jekyll throughout the novel combines science and the supernatural, which is regarded by those of traditional science as nonsense (Stevenson 12). An example of this is highlighted within a conversation between Mr. Utterson and Mr. Lanyon over the types of radical science Dr. Jekyll was pursuing. Lanyon calls Jekyll’s scientific methods “unscientific balderdash” (Stevenson 12) revealing that there is a divide between the two scientists. Lanyon is the embodiment of the traditional, as he places extreme importance on honesty and truth, whereas Dr. Jekyll can be looked at as the supernatural, someone who experiments with what is uncanny. This is important when understanding the fear of one’s morality or of one’s self as we see newer science separating from traditional science. However, the outcome of this is that Jekyll is unable to control the darker, supernatural side of his modern scientific methods, leading to death and
In his creation of Mr. Hyde, Dr. Jekyll tries to separate the sides of his nature privately in order to satisfy his darker side without affecting his public reputation of his better half. Robert Stevenson portrays the two contradictory sides all human have within themselves, and when each side truly comes outs. He does this by interpreting the actions of his main character, Dr. Jekyll.
The main theme being good vs. evil represents the duality of human nature. Dr. Jekyll created a potion hoping that by drinking it, he would be able to unleash the evil nature inside of him through Mr. Hyde, a monster free of conscious. Mr. Hyde was truly evil that Dr. Jekyll then goes to describe him as a “child of Hell [that] had nothing human; nothing lived in him but fear and hatred (page 1717).” Dr. Jekyll mentions
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and Robert Louis Stevenson's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde are two horrific tales of science gone terribly wrong. Shelley?s novel eloquently tells the story of a scientist, Victor Frankenstein, who creates a living monster out of decomposed body parts, while Stevenson?s novel describes the account of one, Henry Jekyll, who creates a potion to bring out the pure evil side to himself. Although the two scientists differ in their initial response and action to their creations, there are strong similarities between their raging curiosity to surpass human limitation, as well as their lack of responsibility concerning their actions. These similarities raise an awareness of human limitation in the realm of science: the further the two scientists go in their experiments, the more trouble and pain they cause to themselves and to others.
The Mayo Clinic defines a blood transfusion as “a routine medical procedure in which donated blood is provided to you through a narrow tube placed within a vein in your arm”. The first human blood transfusion on record was conducted by Dr. Jean-Baptiste Denys, a French physician during the late 1600’s. Although Denys’ transfusions weren’t sound proof and often written off as unorthodox, he unknowingly ushered in a new era of medicine and laid the foundation for modern advances in Hematology. I choose this topic because I volunteer to donate blood four times a year alongside thousands of other people. On average these donations help save 4.5 million Americans that would die in a years’ time without a blood transfusion. These generous people
Robert Louis Stevenson wrote the novella Dr. Jekyll and Mr.Hyde. He was interested in what made up a person's character, how they could be good and evil at the same time. He had a nightmare, and,within three days you had the story. In this novel, Stevenson uses imagery, diction and details to create an overall mysterious mood.
Science and Technology has been around from the beginning of time. It evolved from the everyday efforts of people trying to improve their way of life. Throughout history, humankind has developed and utilized tools, machines, and techniques without understanding how or why they worked or comprehending their physical or chemical composition. Before we go any further a definition has to be given for both Science and Technology because they are both different in their own right even though the two are almost indistinguishable. According to the Oxford Dictionary Technology can be defined as the knowledge or use of the mechanical arts and applied sciences, while Science can be defined as the branch of knowledge involving systematized observation and experiment. Science can be further divided into three separate categories; Pure, Applied and Natural Sciences. In addition technology is often defined as applied science, it is simply the application of scientific knowledge to achieve a specific human purpose, however, historical evidence suggests technology is a product of science.
