The protagonist, Dr. Jackie, is a decent gentleman. Because he can't resist the stirrings of the evil and wild elements hidden in his nature, he invented a potion that can unreservedly reveal the heart that is usually suppressed under the hypocritical appearance; With the change of personality, the appearance of the body will also change. Therefore, a gentle and refined person who was originally considered by the public to spare no effort to do good, once drank the potion, he would turn around and become a vile, inhuman and hated vulgar man - Hyde; one was the representative of goodness, the other One is the incarnation of the devil. Later, because Dr. Jackie could not control his inner demon (Hyde), he committed suicide to stop himself from doing evil as Hyde. From the book "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde", we can learn that Stevenson believed that good and evil coexist in people's subconscious and some dark, deep, undetectable inner corner.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde quotes
-
Dr. Henry Jekyll: Your ankle's all right. But I'll tell you one thing. You wear your garter too tight. That stops the circulation. That's bad.
Ivy Peterson: There! You see? You did find something. You are my doctor, aren't you? I ought to pay your fee, oughtn't I?
Dr. Henry Jekyll: I haven't presented you with a bill yet.
Ivy Peterson: [presents her garter] How about this to begin with? Not that it's enough.
Dr. Henry Jekyll: It's fine. It's fine. It's much more than most people pay.
Ivy Peterson: It doesn't seem near enough to me.

Dr. Henry Jekyll: I have to go now.
Ivy Peterson: But look here. Don't you understand? I ain't no, I ain't no...
Dr. Henry Jekyll: No, I know you're not. You're a girl with her heart just where it ought to be. Maybe a little too generous, that's all.
