Iga Naskret ，

Genialny język， przyjemna， lekko mroczna atmosfera， nieprzewidywalna akcja- to najbardziej podobało mi się w historii Doktora Jekylla i pana Hyde'a。 Jest to klasyk， który wywarł duży wpływ na popkulturę， i dopiero teraz， gdy go wreszcie poznałam， potrafię to docenić。 Żałuję jedynie， że sięgnęłam po tę książkę tak późno。 Genialny język， przyjemna， lekko mroczna atmosfera， nieprzewidywalna akcja- to najbardziej podobało mi się w historii Doktora Jekylla i pana Hyde'a。 Jest to klasyk， który wywarł duży wpływ na popkulturę， i dopiero teraz， gdy go wreszcie poznałam， potrafię to docenić。 Żałuję jedynie， że sięgnęłam po tę książkę tak późno。 。。。more

Had to read this for a college course！ I really enjoyed it though！

Un cuento perfectamente bien logrado， que te deja con una mezcla de sentimientos entre el horror y algo igual de tenebroso que no sabría describir。 Es una historia corta， intrigante y única que atrapa desde el primer momento。Considero que el dr。 Jekyll es un personaje muy singular y misterioso， cuya apariencia puede engañar a cualquiera hasta que se van desvelando los secretos que esconde， incluyendo su relación con Mr。 Hyde。No puedo decir que este género sea algo que disfrute， pero la sensación Un cuento perfectamente bien logrado， que te deja con una mezcla de sentimientos entre el horror y algo igual de tenebroso que no sabría describir。 Es una historia corta， intrigante y única que atrapa desde el primer momento。Considero que el dr。 Jekyll es un personaje muy singular y misterioso， cuya apariencia puede engañar a cualquiera hasta que se van desvelando los secretos que esconde， incluyendo su relación con Mr。 Hyde。No puedo decir que este género sea algo que disfrute， pero la sensación final de asco y horror me parecieron bien logrados。 Tan bien logrados que tardé mucho en pensar mi calificación， aunque sigo creyendo que igual podría merecer las cinco estrellas。Recomendado bajo su propio riesgo。 。。。more

Phew。 I just don’t like old-timey writers。 Seriously， were they paid by the word？ It takes them 3000 words to compose one sentence。 “With every day， and from both sides of my intelligence， the moral and the intellectual， I thus drew steadily nearer to the truth， by whose partial discovery I have been doomed to such a dreadful shipwreck: that man is not truly one， but truly two。”Luckily， I read this one on Audible， and the narrator was Richard Armitage， who did an awesomely creepy job with Hyde's Phew。 I just don’t like old-timey writers。 Seriously， were they paid by the word？ It takes them 3000 words to compose one sentence。 “With every day， and from both sides of my intelligence， the moral and the intellectual， I thus drew steadily nearer to the truth， by whose partial discovery I have been doomed to such a dreadful shipwreck: that man is not truly one， but truly two。”Luckily， I read this one on Audible， and the narrator was Richard Armitage， who did an awesomely creepy job with Hyde's voice。 。。。more

symbolism， character actions and wording are what we're going by。 I think if most people were asked to be somebody else for a day， they'd give some generic answer like the president or a fire fighter。

on this one tho。 It's a great book， if you're looking to be made to think deeply about things and if symbolism， character actions and wording are what we're going by。 I think if most people were asked to be somebody else for a day， they'd give some generic answer like the president or a fire fighter。 A more accurate answer would be a no good， despicable jerk who is completely free of inhibitions and expectations with no reputation to damage and nothing to lose。 Just a chance to let loose the demon within: call that guy you always thought was daft a retard， finally be able to say that baby is ugly etc。 I think it's the same with Jekyll。 He didn't like being so caged up in his reputation and achievements。 So he became Hyde。 Notice how when describing how he killed that old gentleman， he constantly says 'I'， then later on， he refuses to say 'I' in relation to Hyde and I think that is because he no longer wants to associate himself with what he has become， no longer wants to indulge but can't help it anymore。 To me， Jekyll and Hyde are both Jekyll。 Sure， they share a body that reshapes to fit the superior host but beyond that， I like to think Hyde is only a part of Jekyll， borne of his lusts， that grew a stronger personality the more often he was let out and the only other significant difference between then is that they have different bodies and are subsequently， perceived differently。 At one point， Jekyll was in charge， even when he was parading around as Hyde to indulge in said lusts， but then his constant indulgence gave more life to Hyde who eventually was able to take over Jekyll completely。 Another explanation would be that Hyde was the original and Jekyll was created from years of human conditioning to conform to society and to ground him like anchors were his responsibilities， reputation and achievements。 Hyde was， thus， suppressed and when finally set free， the consequence of all those years of suppression， as well as Jekyll's willingness to give up the charade for at least a little while， made him harder to put back in。 I also like to imagine someone else， a separate entity， actually is both Jekyll and Hyde and has the option of two bodies。 One of these bodies is the one he's lived in most of his life， Jekyll's， and so he's shaped as his environment as allowed: refined， successful， polished， not one to go out of place et cetera。 Naturally， when he's in Jekyll's body， he is bound by this cage of conformity and acts as he is expected to as someone of Jekyll's personality。 But when he's in Hyde's body， he's free and can do whatever he wants so he chooses to be the exact opposite of Jekyll。 Regarding the other characters， I noticed how many of them skip over or blatantly avoid saying certain things。 Prime example is Utterson: how he and his cousin would take walks without talking to avoid gossip （I chuckled at this one）， how he said nothing when he found out Jekyll forged a letter for Hyde， how when both he and his cousin saw a glimpse of Hyde in Jekyll， they walked away and when his cousin seemed like he was about to start a topic on it， Utterson left him and how he and Poole had an entire conversation about suspecting Hyde to have murdered Jekyll without even saying it until later。Utterson also seems to have a keenness on protecting reputation or in more favorable wording， is loyal to his friends: he said nothing about the forged letter or that Jekyll knew Hyde to anyone， when he suspected Hyde， preferred to investigate on his own to protect Jekyll from possible "noise" than call the police and even later， decided to go back home to read the letters before coming back and having them call the police。 I， at first， wanted to blame this stringent care on his good sense as a lawyer but now， I think his good sense as a lawyer is borne of his need to protect reputations and both are a general outcome of his Victorian upbringing， which explains everything: his need to avoid gossip and how he never really accepted that something more sinister than could be reasonably explained was going on。Next is Lanyon。 I liked him the most I think。 He remind me sort of Anderson from And Then There Were None。 I like his unshaking resolve even when presented with firm evidence。 It might not always be the way to go to be so stubborn but I think it's a great attribute to not be so easily shaken all the time and have something you can believe in consistently- this is not in relation to any of the characters tho; I'm just saying。 I also like his juxtaposition to Jekyll and honestly， that he died of shock was even more shocking to me。 I was ready to swear he had killed himself because he couldn't handle the sudden revelation that all he had known for all his life wasn't all the truth。 Note the， 'all his life。' Decades of human conditioning isn't so easily unseated。 Even the slightest deviation from the norm can cause people to lose their minds。 As for Mr。 Enfield。 I think， while he may avoid gossip， he has a looser tongue than Utterson himself， given by how he started the entire narrative on Hyde to begin with and later， when they saw Jekyll close the window， it seemed he wanted to start somewhat of a conversation on it， or at least have it acknowledged， when he exclaimed。 Utterson didn't acknowledge it at all until Enfield did and I doubt he would have at all if not。 Then when the girl who saw the old guy die fainted， I laughed。 It reminded me of women fainting at the sight of Rober Hooke's drawing of a flea。 I think this also goes to show how Victorian people were rather sheltered: they never saw anything out of the ordinary and even if they did， it was repressed， they lived repetitive， structured lives and everyone acted accordingly so it made sense that they would be so completely shocked at the sight of something strange or that even the least strange thing would be gruesome to them。 All in all， the book was great。 I don't think I'll be reading it ever again tho。 This is mostly cus it isn't in my comfort genre。 Worth the read nonetheless。 。。。more

I have never read this story， but I knew the basic story line。 Just like Treasure Island， I found the story entertaining and different from the movies。

I really love your story， it deserves a lot of audience。 If you have some great stories like this one， you can publish it on NovelStar， just submit your story to hardy@novelstar。top or joye@novelstar。top

Stevenson y su forma de escribir me ha volado la tapa。 Sin dudarlo una sola vez este libro es una obra maestra， una joya。 Su manera de escribir， su forma de mostrarnos y retratar la dualidad de ser humano， porque como el mismo dice， el hombre no es uno realmente sino dos es fantástica。 Dos personajes que ejemplifican a todos y cada uno de nosotros y que nos ponen a pensar acerca de qué es lo que realmente somos y qué hay dentro de cada uno de nosotros。 Para su época muy avanzado， para la nuestra Stevenson y su forma de escribir me ha volado la tapa。 Sin dudarlo una sola vez este libro es una obra maestra， una joya。 Su manera de escribir， su forma de mostrarnos y retratar la dualidad de ser humano， porque como el mismo dice， el hombre no es uno realmente sino dos es fantástica。 Dos personajes que ejemplifican a todos y cada uno de nosotros y que nos ponen a pensar acerca de qué es lo que realmente somos y qué hay dentro de cada uno de nosotros。 Para su época muy avanzado， para la nuestra quizás muy obvio。 Psicología pura es este libro， analizarlo y estudiarlo nos permitirá encontrar respuestas dentro de si mismos。 Como digo me sorprendió inmensamente su mensaje。 Toda la historia de principio a fin me atrapó。 Un libro ligero y fácil de leer。 Y una pregunta somos más mal que bien o tenemos más bien que mal？ Ahí se las dejo。。。 。。。more
