The author told that the inspiration of the story of Dr. jekyll and Mr. Hyde was a nightmare that he while he was sleeping afflicted by tuberculosis.
Why did the author not mention any woman in the story as a character?

In Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, therefore, women may have unnecessarily complicated the story.]]> 2018-11-09 14:18:48 UTC https://padlet.com/francesco_formato/lg59fitjkjnj/wish/302565620
