3.5 stars. A little hard to follow at times, but interesting concept. My only exposure to this story was via the cliches of it and mainly, the looney tunes cartoon version. This story was thought-provoking. What happens when you separate the body from the soul? Or the mind from the soul?

Como todo buen occidental, conozco muy bien el ahora mito del Dr. Jekyll y el Sr. Hyde: un monstruo humano capaz de desdoblarse en dos personalidades opuestas, el villano y el héroe. Por eso, el suspenso que Stevenson maneja (con indiscutible maestría) no dio su efecto deseado en mí: ya sabía el misterio de antemano.
Sin embargo, soy capaz de maravillarme de la calidad narrativa del autor, casi perfecta, y la profunda reflexión sobre qué significa ser humano.

Decided to reread this years after I had to study it at school. It’s an effective, classically gothic, intriguing and sometimes even tense story, but I didn’t feel as sucked in as I did with Dorian Gray’s use of language. The other two short stories are quite boring, particularly Olalla. I’d rate them lower, but for the main classic, 3.5 stars sounds fair.
Really interesting/intriguing classic, well written using exquisite words throughout. Shorter than I had hoped but it’s a classic
