Robert Stevenson Biography

My author, Robert Louis Stevenson was born on November 13th, in 1850. Stevenson was from Edinburgh, Scotland and was the son of Thomas and Margaret Stevenson. At the age of 17, Stevenson, attended Edinburgh University. He entered the University to become a lighthouse engineer, just like his father. His plans to become a lighthouse engineer did not succeed. Instead he studied and prepared for the Scottish Bar, that also fell through since he was never in interest to practice. Rather than Stevenson becoming a lighthouse engineer or a lawyer, he finally got to become what he desired to be. Eventually Robert Louis Stevenson was a Novelist, Poet, Essayist, and a writer of travel books. Stevenson was the author of three most popular novels to
They saw that the side of the old building had another door to a laboratory that is attached to Jekyll's house. When they took a glance at the house, they suddenly witnessed Jekyll's expression turning into a face of pain. One day Utterson and a man named Poole return to Jekyll's home to sneak into the laboratory and use and ax to break inside. They witnessed that the man committed suicide by poisoning himself. (Masterplots).
The man they saw was Hyde, then Utterson and Poole try and find Jekyll's body. There was a note from Jekyll to Utterson. The note was dated on the same day all of this happened. In the note, it explains that Jekyll arranged to disappear, and rushes for Utterson to read what it said. Jekyll's owns up to his confession at the very end. (Masterplots). Utterson returns back to his office to read the letter on Lanyon. In the letter; it says that Poole brought a request to Lanyon asking if the Doctor can go back for the mysterious drug in Jekyll's science lab and deliver it to Mr. Hyde. Hyde took the drug right in front of Lanyon, and the shock that, Lanyon felt was indescribable, that it led to his death.
The entire book according to Stevenson took an amount of ten weeks to be written and published. The novel relates to the idea of the double personality inside of every person. Dr. Henry Jekyll, a Scottish Doctor who leads a double life, one of a respected and learned scientist and the other who is a self-serving monster. Hyde is not the double of the sinner, but a conscience. A reporter explained it as Hyde being a personality of "hideous caprices and appalling vitality, a terrible power of growth and increase". Stevenson wasn't the first to use this idea of works, but he did give it a different twist. It's one of those rare fictions that can make you comprehend the value in literary art. The novel follows the basic template written by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley in Frankenstein: or the modern Prometheus in 1818. The two novels carry on secret experiments that suddenly go out of control. Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, is a theme of duality. The behaviors are opposite and antagonistic. This novel also explains the exploring effects of drug use. Other criticizers link it to a certain concern of the post-parwinran world of the late nineteenth century. Robert Louis Stevenson once said, "We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best we can find in our travels is an honest friend" (BrainyQuote). This is still true today because you shouldn’t ever give up what you love to do even though
