Explanation:

In "The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde," the author Robert Louis Stephenson directs attention to the theme of duality in human nature. Thus, at first Jekyll enjoys Hyde's lack of inhibition and freedom to act according to his deepest desires, without caring about social norms and good manners. However, when Hyde begins to commit murder, Jekyll realizes that he cannot control Hyde's evil and begins to feel guilty for his acts.

As a result, Stephenson intends to demonstrate that all human beings have a good and an evil side, and that it is better for ourselves and people around us to learn to control our bad essence.
