1. “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde”

Mr. Hyde was a very bad person; He used to have strange and
dangerous behaviors. Two of the worst things he did through his life were
the murder of a man, and the ill-treated of a girl who had fallen down on

MAIN IDEAS

☻ Mr. Utterson asked to him doctor Jekyll on Hyde, but not received a satisfactory explanation and finally,
doctor Jekyll gives a letter to him (it was signed by Hyde) directed for Mr. Utterson.

or disappeared, and Dr Lannyon died with a terrible secret.
Chapter 9
☻Mr. Utterson and Enfield went to the house of doctor Jekyll, because they wished to know if Jekyll were
well and perhaps to help it to leave a prolonged confinement.
☻Jekyll was in his house, but refused to leave with them and not even it allowed that his Utterson friend
approached to him.

to disappear and mentions his Lannyon friend.

again.
☻ Jekyll was transformed by the liquid stranger that he invented. From then he begins to commit so many
errors that finally Utterson discovered that Jekyll and Hyde were the same person.
Chapter 12
☻Jekyll tried to eliminate the diabolic side of its soul during all his life, he wanted to be good but that was
not possible.
FINAL ALTERNATIVE
Dr. Jekyll only disappears being Mr. Hyde, nevertheless, I fodder that Hyde is not the true person in
charge by the perverse acts, Dr Jekyll left Mr. Hyde became strong, and that is to say he was friendly with
the evil, by that reason he had to pay.
The end that I propose is the following one: Dr. Jekyll cannot produce the liquid turned that it into the
bloodthirsty Hyde, Jekyll was weak and ill and he needed to Hyde, but Hyde was not going to never return.
Suddenly, Utterson entered the house of Jekyll and like him it was convinced that Jekyll was an
abominable beast kills him without compassion; thus the lawyer finishes for always with that one
dangerous doctor.
