El abogado Mr. Utterson era un hombre de semblante adusto, jamás iluminado por una sonrisa; frío, parco y vergonzoso en la conversación; remiso en sentimientos; enjuto, alto, taciturno, aburrido, y sin embargo adorable, en alguna medida. En las reuniones de amigos, y cuando el vino era de su agrado, irradiaba de sus ojos algo eminentemente humano; algo que, a decir verdad, jamás salía a relucir en su conversación, pero que expresaba no sólo con aquellos gestos silenciosos de su cara después de la cena, sino más a menudo y llamativamente en su vida cotidiana. Era austero consigo mismo; bebía ginebra cuando estaba solo, para mortificar su afición por los vinos añejos; y aunque le encantaba el teatro, hacía ya veinte años que no cruzaba las puertas de ninguno. En cambio mostraba una acreditada tolerancia en su trato con los demás; unas veces asombrándose, casi con envidia, de la gran tensión anímica que implicaban sus delitos; y en cualquier situación extrema era más propenso a prestar ayuda que a reprender. «Me inclino por la herejía de Caín —solía decir pintorescamente—: dejo que mi hermano se vaya al diablo por su propio pie». Con este carácter, a...

Jekyll had recently and suddenly changed his will to make Hyde the sole beneficiary. This development concerns and disturbs Utterson, who makes an effort to seek out Hyde.

Autor: Robert Louis Stevenson

Número de Páginas: 88

In "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," Robert Louis Stevenson masterfully intertwines themes of duality, morality, and the human psyche through a gripping narrative set in Victorian London. Employing a gothic literary style, Stevenson presents a chilling exploration of the dual nature of humanity, encapsulated in the relationship between the respectable Dr. Jekyll and his malevolent alter-ego, Mr. Hyde. The novella's structure, marked by suspense and vivid imagery, reflects the anxieties of a society grappling with the implications of scientific advancements and the shadow of repressed desires.
