Evaluation: 4stars
The latter part, the confession by Dr Jekyll in a letter is most interesting part in this story. Because it doesn’t only show the truth of the story clearly, but also indicates dual personalities that we have more or less. You can read “Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde,” in two good views as an entertainment and a study for complexity of human’s emotion.
