Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is the origina title of a novella written by the Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson that was first published in 1886. The work is commonly known today as The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Dr. Jekyll amd Mr. Hyde, or simply Jekyll & Hyde. It is about a London lawyer named Gabriel John Utterson who investigates strange occurrences between his old frien, Dr. Henry Jekyll, and the evil Edward Hyde. The work is commonly asociated with the rare mental condition often spuriously called "split personality", referred to in psychiatry as dissociative identity disorder, where within the same body there exists more than one distinct personality. In this case, there are two personalities within Dr Jekyll, one apperently good and the other evil; completely opposite levels of morality. Th novella's impact is such that it has become a part of the language, with the very phrase "Jekyll and Hyde" coming to mena a person who is vastly different in moral character from one situation to the next.
