Robert Louis Stevenson is a master of books from Treasure Island to The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. He makes the whole story a mystery so fascinating it's hard to not flip to the back of the book. Jekyll represents the fear most people have: having a strong reputation. He tries to hide from the consequences of being a bad man by creating Hyde. Jekyll's dilemma and confession at the end is somewhat satisfying; however, it is better than your "normal ending" as it leaves Jekyll dead at the hands of his own evil persona. Stevenson's display about the duality of man leaves the reader to wonder about their own choices and actions like the protagonist, Mr. Utterson.
