This was a great story that will make you sympathize for the monster. Edward Hyde is the dark side of Henry Jekyll: a drunk, a womanizer, and a ruffian. And yet much of this dark side stems from how the world treats him with scorn and derision for his small, twisted frame. It brings to mind the old argument of nature vs nurture--which is Hyde a product of?
Maybe it would have helped if I had read the original Jekyll and Hyde book, but this is still a great story on its own. The writing is well done and the characters well drawn. Even taking place in Victorian times this is a story still relevant today.
That is all.
