Storyline
Plot Summary |
Based on the Robert Louis Stevenson story: Doctor Henry Jekyll's enthusiasm for science and his selfless acts of service have made him a much-admired man. But as he visits Sir George Carew one evening, his host criticizes him for his reluctance to experience the more sensual side of life. Sir George goads Jekyll into visiting a music hall, where he watches the alluring dancer Gina. Jekyll becomes fascinated with the two contrasting sides of human nature, and he becomes obsessed with the idea of separating them. After extensive work in his laboratory, he devises a formula that does indeed allow him to alternate between two completely different personalities, his own and that of a brutish, lascivious person whom he names Hyde. It is not long before the personality of Hyde begins to dominate Jekyll's affairs. Written by Snow Leopard |

Quotes |
Sir George Carew:
In devoting yourself to others, Jekyll, aren't you neglecting the development of your own life? Dr. Henry Jekyll: Isn't it by serving others that one develops oneself, Sir George? Sir George Carew: Which self? A man has two two - as he has two hands. Because I use my right hand, Should I never use my left? [Carew pointedly moves both hands indepemdently, making his point known to the whole table] Sir George Carew: Your really strong man fears nothing. It is the weak one that is afraid of - - experience. See more » |
