After finishing Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde it is by far my favorite book we have read in this class so far. It combined drama and suspense and for those who haven't heard of the story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, a very big twist at the end. It was a good change from the normal romanticism we commonly read about in the female gothic novels.
While reading the other novels it was more like a chore to read because I wasn't really interested in the topics, but in this one I wanted to keep reading because the plot was enticing to me. I loved the psychological aspect of the novel and how somebody had a dark side which was unknown to the public. I believe this is how many serial killers are today, on the outside they look like normal people and even in most cases act like it in public. Then something clicks inside them and they become some blood thirsty killer that is totally polar from their normal personality. No matter how much Dr. Jekyll tried to control his evil side, eventually it overcame him and led to the death of his good side, Dr. Jekyll.
In all I really enjoyed this read and look forward to more novels that are like it.
