  Dr jekyll and mr hyde

Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde   Summary:   The book begins with two men, Mr. Utterson and his cousin Mr. Richard Enfield, on a walk in London. Although the two men are initially silent, after passing a mysterious door , Mr. Enfield tells the lawyer, Mr Utterson, a strange occurrence that centred around the door. Late one night, while he was on his way home, he chanced to see an act of violence, a short man who walked on a girl who was on her way to get a doctor.

The girl's family and Mr. Enfield catch the mysterious man and instead of getting the police, they decide to blackmail him and force him to give the girl's family money. Agreeing to this, the mysterious man disappears into the same door and comes out with a cheque bearing not his own signature , but that of the respectable, honoured and very well known man, Dr. Jekyll.   After hearing the story, Utterson returns to his home where he takes out Dr. Jekyll's mysterious will, which he recently filed away in a safe in his business room.

Jekyll's will stated that in case of his death, everything he owned will pass to Mr. Hyde, but even stranger, in case of his disappearance for more than three months, Hyde will assume Jekyll's life without delay. Utterson decides that Jekyll is being blackmailed by Hyde. So he searches after him to see his face in order to understand why. After seeing him he is sure that this evil man is the same as in the story which his cousin Enfield has told him.   One year later, Hyde murders Sir Danvers Carew with a cane.

With help from Utterson, the police find Hyde's apartment. At his flat they find the weapon with which Mr Carew was murdered. After leaving, Utterson confronts Jekyll with the murderer. Jekyll claims that he is done with Hyde and promises that he has nothing left to do with him. He does, however, have a farewell note from Hyde. Utterson takes the note home and his clerk, Mr.

Guest, later discovers that the handwriting from the note matches a dinner invitation written by Dr. Jekyll. Angrily, Utterson assumes that Jekyll has written a false letter for a murderer.   More time passes, and we learn that although Hyde has not been located, Dr. Jekyll becomes more and more social until one day Utterson attends a dinner party at Jekyll's where Lanyon is present. Shortly thereafter Jekyll locks himself in his workroom and Dr.

Lanyon fell ill and died. After his death, Dr. Lanyon left Mr Utterson a letter that instructed him not to read it until H. Jekyll dies or disappears . After these mysterious events, Enfield and Utterson again walk by the mysterious door.   About a week later, Poole, Henry Jekyll's butler, visits Utterson.

He is afraid because his master Dr Jekyll has locked himself up in a room above the workroom and the only things to be heard were strange sounds, including crying. The only communication that has come are letters urgently asking for a special type of white powder. Utterson follows Poole to Jekyll's house and breaks down the door with an axe to enter the dark room where the body of Hyde is found. In the laboratory, the two discover a large envelope addressed to Mr. Utterson. Inside, Jekyll urges Utterson to read the letter from Lanyon and if he wished to know more, to read the further description that Jekyll has put within the envelope.

  Lanyon's paper begins by describing a strange letter he received from Henry Jekyll, the night after a dinner party at Jekyll's residence. The letter urges Lanyon to go to Jekyll's house and get a drawer full of chemicals out of the laboratory. Afterwards, a strange caller will come to Lanyon's house in Jekyll's name and will ask for all these things he took from Jekyll’s room. Lanyon does as much, thinking that Jekyll is crazy, and Mr. Hyde appears at the subscribed time. He gives Hyde the chemicals; Hyde mixes them into a potion, and after drinking it transforms into Dr.

Jekyll. This shock, the pure evilness of the situation, was the reason why Lanyon dies soon.   After reading the confession of Dr. Lanyon, Utterson then reads Jekyll's own confession of his failed experiment. Jekyll believed that he had lived two separate lives : The evil and the good. These two beings had always been in conflict with each other.

So slowly, Jekyll begins an experiment where he makes two potions and transforms himself into Edward Hyde. Shortly after becoming Hyde, he drinks a second potion and once again becomes Henry Jekyll. He decided to use his discovery.   For some months, this behaviour continued until one moment, "I had gone to bed as Henry Jekyll, I had awakened as Edward Hyde." Afraid that the character of Hyde might irrevocably stay, Jekyll gives up drinking the mixture to become Hyde any longer. But then once again he took the potion and brutally murdered Carew.


Because Hyde was becoming too evil, he decided not to bring him back.   This, however, failed because Hyde was an irrevocable part of Jekyll's character. One night, while contemplating the deeds of Hyde, Jekyll was once again transformed into Edward Hyde. Realising that he could not return to his house, he sent the letter to Dr. Lanyon and Mr. Poole and went immediately to a hotel.

He went home once again but every time he would fall asleep, he would revert to Mr. Hyde. In the end, Hyde kills himself, by taking some poison, and therefore lets both Jekyll and Hyde free.
