Free Essays on Dr Jeckel Mr. Hyde

The story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is one that would have the most intelligent person thinking out loud to himself, â€Å"What the heck is going on in this story?† The way the story flows is in many ways, like a suspense movie where the audience wonders what will happen next or who the killer might be, but the question that this reader needed an answer to was â€Å"Who in the world was Mr. Hyde?† Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde began with a lawyer, Mr. Utterson, talking with his cousin, Mr. Enfield, about a detestable looking man, Mr. Hyde, who had stomped on a young girl and thought nothing of it.
