I think I would have enjoyed this more if the mystery hadn't been spoiled by 136 years of pop culture.

Sesli kitap olarak dinledim. Başlarda biraz ne dinliyorum ben olsam da sonrasında bir anda neler oluyor ya dönmedim değil. Hep adını duyuyordum bu eserin ama bu şekilde olmasını beklemiyordum. İyiki bir yerlerden spoiler yememişim. Daha keyifli oldu.

I was not expecting to like this text nearly as much as I did. I feel like most contemporary audiences grow up in a culture where this story is known but not read; however, this is a very good Victorian read with very important themes. This story is told as a detective case and it is very easy to read and isn't laborious despite the literary era. There were a few moments that I thought were slightly dull, but I overall thought that the text was very well written and there were several moments where the prose was extremely beautiful. Especially with how much this text has been canonized, this is definitely a text that should be read.

Ajaton, mutta traaginen kertomus ihmismielestä pimeine puolineen. Hyde edustaa iteelleni ja itsessäni kaikkea normeihin sopimatonta, varjominää. Parasta antia teoksessa oli Jekyllin pohdinnat Hyden merkityksestä minuuden kannalta.

Sinänsä positiivista oli huomata oman ajatusprosessin olevan niin pitkällä, ettei uusia ajatuksia juuri tullut vastaan. Tämä toki oli harmillista lukukokemuksen kannalta, vaikka teos toimikin paikoin tarkkana peilinä. Tarinan oleellinen opetus onkin tratatatataa, hyväksyä itsensä kaikki puolet - muutoin seuraukset ovat ikävät.

Tärkeä ja maineensa veroinen klassikko, suosittelen. Miinustin yhden tähden paikoin jaarittelevasta kerronnasta.
