Scene from The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson, 1927. Are you come from Dr Jekyll? I asked. Dr Lanyon opens his door at midnight to a small man in clothes too big for him - Mr Hyde. Jekyll had succeeded in separating out the duality in his nature, Hyde representing pure evil and Jekyll good, but eventually the antidote to the Hyde persona ceases to be effective. From The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson. (London, 1927). First published 1886.
