The novel has a complex structure. There are four narrators:
1. Mr. Utterson, a lawyer whose clients include Mr. Jekyll.
2. Enfield, a distant relative of Utterson.
3. Lanyon, a friend and colleague of Jekyll, whose curiosity allows him to be tempted by
forbidden knowledge and in the end he dies, as Jekyll.
4. Jekyll himself, whose narrative and final confession takes up the best chapter.

The novel is a portrayal of good and evil and its characters, Jekyll and Hyde, are the stereotypes of
people who are “good” and “evil”. Jekyll has spent a virtuous life, he is handsome, well-shaped
and his body is more harmoniously proportioned than Hyde’s. Hyde s pale and dwarfish, his hands
are dark and he gives the impression of deformity, but throughout the novel he begins to grow in
stature and the original balance of good and evil in Jekyll’s nature disappears.

•The two facades of Jekyll’s house are symbolically the faces of two opposite sides of the same man: the attractive front contrasts with the sinister rear used by Hyde.
•Most of the scenes take place at night. There’s no natural daylight but only the artificial
lighting of Jekyll’s house and the street lamps.
•There are no women, no wives and the only relationships between people are professional
ones. All men belong to the same respectable world (one is a lawyer and to are doctors).

The story is told from the point of view of Mr Utterson, a London lawyer and friend to the brilliant Dottor Jekyll, a man divided against himself into two distinct characters. The first is a respectable
being and the second, Hyde, is an evil genius. These two being are in constant struggle and once Hyde is release from hiding, he gets domination over the Jekyll aspect so that the individual can choose between:
a. A life of crime and depravity
b. Killing Hyde
So the final and only choice is suicide (Jekyll’s self-murder)
