Storyshoutout - The strange case of dr. jekyll and mr. hyde by robert lewis stevenson

Let's talk about.... "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." This book was written by Robert Lewis Stevenson. The story starts with Mr. Utterson. Utterson is the trusted keeper of his friends' wills. One of his closest friends is Dr. Jekyll, but Jekyll's will is something of a mystery to Utterson because it states that: "In the case of the decease of Henry Jekyll, all his possessions are to pass into the hands of his friend and benefactor Edward Hyde." But Utterson has never heard of Mr. Hyde and has no idea who the fellow is. Until, that is, he hears of a terrible crime committed by an ungentlemanly figure by the name of Mr. Hyde. Utterson suspects that Mr. Hyde is blackmailing the good Dr. Jekyll. *poorly done t-rex screams* Since Utterson is Jekyll's friend, he sets out to solve this strange case. Bye-bye! Right, time for flip sides. This one will be fun: Robert Lewis Stevenson was an amazing writer. The poetry of the book intertwines with the suspense of the story in a rare elegance. It takes place on another continent in another century; call me stupid, but sometimes I have to try hard to figure out what they're saying. "The stillness was only broken by the sound of a footfall moving to and fro along the cabinet floor." How's he walking in the kitchen cupboards? The characters are deep and pop off the page realistically. Except this one time when someone died for no reason. What is this, Les Miserables? If people could die of pure shock, we wouldn't have Halloween... boo. *Person screams and falls* The story goes straight to the point. It has to with only this much room to tell it and this much glossary to explain it. What kind of an ending is that?!? When I read The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, I came away with this: A lot of people in the world today think that man is inherently good. But if that's true, then why does one evil act give birth to another one? Something bad happened in your childhood so now you have issues you can't overcome. Someone hurt you so now you're bent on revenge. I don't know if Mr. Stevenson called himself a Christian, but he certainly gave us a sobering picture of the hopelessness of man without Jesus Christ. But the hopelessness of just man, I mean, women are obviously angels. Right, Professor? "Obviously."
