The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Other Stories by Robert Louis Stevenson

4.0

A wonderful juxtaposition of the “old” and New Woman which emerged in the Victorian era. Steveson’s wife, Fanny, may have been an inspiration for the themes explored through Hyde and Jekyll. Characterizations such as “white and comely” for Jekyll to the “dark hairy” for Hyde speaks volumes to the scare that was associated with the new woman.
