Full Book Summary: The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson (annotated)
A famously reasonable, dependable legal counsellor named Mr Utterson tunes in as his companion Enfield tells a horrible attack story on their week by week walk. The story portrays an evil figure named Mr Hyde who stomps on a little kid, vanishes into an entryway in the city, and reappears to take care of her family members with an authentic look endorsed by a decent nobleman. Since both Utterson and Enfield dislike tattle, they consent to talk no further of the matter. Nonetheless, it works that a client and dear partner of Utterson, Dr Jekyll, has written a will to transfer all his property to this equivalent, Mr Hyde. A while ago, Otterson began to dream where a smooth image stalked through a terrifying form of London.
Confused, the legal advisor visits Jekyll and their shared companion Dr Lanyon to attempt to find out more. Lanyon reports that he no longer sees a lot of Jekyll since they disagreed with the course of Jekyll’s exploration, which Lanyon calls “informal senselessness.” Curious, Utterson stakes out a structure that Hyde visits — which, it ends up, is a lab joined to the rear of Jekyll’s home. Experiencing Hyde, Utterson is stunned by how undefinably appalling the man appears, as though disfigured. However, Utterson can’t say precisely how. Causing Utterson a deep sense of’s shock, Hyde energetically offers Utterson his location. Jekyll tells Utterson not to fret about the question of Hyde.
A year passes without interest. Then, at that time, one evening, a young working woman saw Hyde being brutally beaten to the ground by an older man named Sir Danvers Currie, a Member of Parliament and a client of Utterson. Police contacted Utterson and suspected Utterson Hyde of being the killer. He drives the officials to Hyde’s loft, feeling suspicious during the scary climate — the morning is dim and wreathed in the haze. The killer has evaporated when they show up at the attic, and the police look demonstrates vain. Presently, Utterson again visits Jekyll, who claims to have finished all relations with Hyde; he shows Utterson a note, purportedly kept in touch with Jekyll by Hyde, saying ‘sorry’ for the difficulty he has caused him and bidding farewell. That evening, notwithstanding, Utterson’s representative brings up that Hyde’s penmanship bears an exceptional closeness to Jekyll’s own.

Jekyll acts particularly cordial and friendly for a couple of months, as though a weight has been lifted from his shoulders. However, Jekyll abruptly starts to decline guests, and Lanyon drops dead from some surprise he got regarding Jekyll. Before kicking the bucket, in any case, Lanyon gives Utterson a letter with guidelines that he does not open until after Jekyll’s demise. In the meantime, Utterson goes out strolling with Enfield, and they see Jekyll at a window of his research centre; the three men start to speak, yet a look of repulsiveness comes over Jekyll’s face, and he punches the window and vanishes. Before long, subsequently, Jekyll’s head servant, Mr Poole, visits Utterson in a condition of urgency: Jekyll has segregated himself in his lab for quite some time, and presently the voice that comes from the room sounds not at all like the specialist’s. Utterson and Poole travel to Jekyll’s home through unfilled, desolate, evil roads; they find the workers crouched together in dread. They resolve to break into Jekyll’s research centre in the wake of contending for a period. Inside, they track down the collection of Hyde, wearing Jekyll’s garments and dead by self-destruction — and a letter from Jekyll to Utterson promising to make sense of everything.
Utterson brings the report back home. He first reads Lanien’s letter; Lanion’s disintegration and inevitable death occurred when he saw Mr Hyde take an elixir and transform into Dr Jekyll. The following letter contains a confirmation from Jekyll. It makes sense how Jekyll, looking to isolate his great side from his hazier motivations, found a method for changing himself occasionally into a distorted beast liberated from his soul — Mr Hyde. From the get-go, Jekyll reports, he had a great time becoming Hyde and celebrated the ethical opportunity that the animal had.

Notwithstanding, he observed that he was transforming into Hyde automatically in his rest, even without taking the elixir. Right now, Jekyll set out to stop becoming Hyde. One evening, in any case, the desire grasped him too firmly, and after the change, he quickly surged out and viciously killed Sir Danvers Carew. Shocked, Jekyll attempted all the more firmly to stop the changes, and for a period, he demonstrated fruitfully; at some point, notwithstanding, while at the same time sitting in a recreation area, he unexpectedly transformed into Hyde, whenever that a compulsory transformation first had occurred while he was conscious.
The letter keeps portraying Jekyll’s weeping for help. A long way from his research centre and chased by the police as a killer, Hyde required Lanyon’s assistance to get his elixirs and become Jekyll once more — however, when he embraced the change in Lanyon’s presence, the shock of the sight impelled Lanyon’s crumbling and passing. In the meantime, Jekyll got back to his home to find himself always powerless and caught as the changes expanded in recurrence and required much more significant portions of the elixir to turn around themselves. The beginning of one of these unconstrained transformations made Jekyll forcefully close his research facility window in his discussion with Enfield and Utterson. The mixture started to run out, and Jekyll couldn’t track down a vital fixing to make more. His capacity to change back from Hyde into Jekyll gradually evaporated. Jekyll composes that even as he creates his letter, he realizes that he will before long become Hyde for all time. He contemplates whether Hyde will confront execution for his wrongdoings or decide to commit suicide. Jekyll takes note of that. Regardless, the finish of his letter denotes the finish of the existence of Dr Jekyll. With these words, both the report and the original come to a nearby.
