Throughout the book ,The Strange Case of Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde the author Robert Louis Stevenson portrays the theme of temptation repeatedly through the story. An example of this theme in the story is the temptation for Dr.Jekyll to turn into Mr.Hyde(by taking a drug). During the novel the temptation for Dr.Jekyll to turn into Mr.Hyde who is the”evil” side of Dr.Jekyll dramatically increases due to the moral weakness of Dr.Jekyll .The reason why Dr.Jekyll enjoys turning into Mr.Hyde is because of the pleasures and adventures that occur while being Mr.Hyde.

Within every person exists temptation, whether it be dormant or active, which varies in form from one individual to the next. Usually always negative, temptations arise from the lesser qualities of man and expose an individual to develop even more nefarious ambitions. In severe cases, the temptation transforms into a desire, in which the individual experiences a lack of control accompanied with self-infliction and remorse. The story of one man’s dark desires is examined in Robert Louis Stevenson’s book, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Appropriately termed, Stevenson peruses the eerie case of a respected doctor who becomes associated with Mr. Hyde, who is essentially Dr. Jekyll’s counterpart.
In The Strange Case of Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde, Louis Robert Stevenson utilizes differences in the city and surroundings of London to contrast between Jekyll and Hyde, nice and bad respectively. During Mr. Utterson’s walk with Mr. Enfield, it is said that the alley they occupied is “thriving” and “the inhabitants were all doing well” (Stevenson 6). The nature of this location is similar to that of Jekyll. He was thriving, quiet, and was doing well. A few steps later, the duo run into “a certain sinister block of building thrust forward” that “bore in every feature, the marks of prolonged and sordid negligence” (Stevenson 6).
The book The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is told mostly through the third person point of view. It follows the character Utterson, who is trying to solve the mystery of Jekyll and Hyde. Since we follow Utterson throughout the whole book, why not just write it in his point of view? Out of the 10 chapters in the book, eight are in the third person POV and two are in the first. The two that are in the first person POV are the last chapters.

One is born good and evil and they determine your placement on the spectrum of good to evil. This is what has shaped everyone since birth. In his novella, The Strange case of Henry Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Stevenson suggests that one are responsible for their actions of good or evil.

I chose to draw my project digitally, because it is what I am accustomed to using, as well as, a great way to make illustrations without using paper. Since I am creating an illustration of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, I wanted to portray the duality of human nature that the story highlights between Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. I drew Mr. Hyde as an evil and looming figure behind Dr. Jekyll to signify Dr. Jekyll's uncontrollable and dark natures that Mr. Hyde represents. I also included my portrayal of Dr. Jekyll with a petrified expression symbolizing his conflicted moral nature. The smoke surrounding Dr. Jekyll represents his corruption by his opposing counterpart, Mr. Hyde.
