Abstract:
The lawyer Utterson and his cousin Richard Enfield were in a street in a commercial district in London where he next had a dark building of two floors. They began to talk about it. Enfield said that once a man stumbles into a girl and went over it smoothly. People of the family of the girl spoke that the man's name would be cursed from one extreme to another in London. Set up an indemnity to the family: one hundred pounds. To get the money, the man entered the building again with ten pounds in gold and an authentic check signed with a name well known, Hyde, said it would take until the banks open Enfield and that he discounted the check.
Utterson returned to his apartment, went to the office, got the envelope that contained a box the will of Dr. Jekyll. In the will, was that in the death of Henry Jekyll all its assets would the hands of his "friend and protected Edward Hyde," which outraged the lawyer. This was to find his friend Dr. Lanyon. Talking, Dr. Lanyon says more than ten years ago Henry Jekyll became a mystery and began to walk on the wrong track. Dr. Lanyon, Utterson responding to, said I never heard about Hyde. Fifteen days later, Dr. Jekyll offered a dinner about six old friends.Utterson asked to Jekyll distressed about his testament Jekyll wanted to have it closed by asking that if he died at the end help Hyde.
An unusual crime shook London on October 18. An established, around eleven o'clock, gathered in the room of your home (not far from the river) to bedtime. Witnessed two individuals talking (conversation that in principle did not seem to be of great importance), recognizing a certain Mr. Hyde on one that was suddenly taken by a tantrum, hitting your foot on the ground, stick to soft, acting as a crazy, and finally murdered the other, trampling him, discharging him a rain of blows. His cane was broken in half, one piece gutter rolled to the next, and the other was certainly taken. Near the victim, had a closed and sealed envelope to Mr. Utterson, which the police handed him the following morning. Utterson went to the police station, where the corpse was transported, and recognized him: it was Sir. Danvers Carew. The lawyer and the inspector was where Mr. Hyde lives. The old set up was reluctant to let them enter, but they did, and found the other half of the cane. The police are satisfied: it is confirmed that Hyde was the killer.
Utterson over the door of the house of Jekyll. Led by Poole, was the office of Jekyll that seemed mortally ill. Extended the hand to cold Utterson and greeted him with an upset voice. Spoke about the assassination and vowed Jekyll never see him giving his word that the risk of the world, it is discarded. Utterson Jekyll left with a letter signed by Edward Hyde, leaving his post to do with it. Utterson concluded that the letter could only have been received by the lab door, or in written gabinete.Utterson returned to his home. Showed the Guest, its employees and expert in calligraphy, the letter. Guest considered it. He said the letter is very natural. To compare it with a letter from Jekyll to a dinner brought by established, Guest said that the handwriting on many points are identical, just inclined differently. Only that night, Utterson went to see the letter that it has stored in the safe. Said that Henry Jekyll has forged it to save a murderer.
Utterson decided personally look Lanyon later Lanyon had change in his face, pale healthy, lose weight, and seemed older. Utterson asked him about Jekyll. Lanyon did not want to hear about it. When Utterson came to his home, wrote to Jekyll inquiring the cause of the unhappy break with Lanyon. Received a reply saying that the extensive Lanyon had no disagreement with it. This, after time, delivered the soul to God. The night after the funeral, Utterson in his office, read a confidential letter to you. Said to be buried a friend and wanted to know if this would cost him the loss of another. There was another warning envelope should not be read before the death or disappearance of Dr. Henry Jekyll. I read, but the life and honor his late friend's memory not allowed.
One night, Poole visited Dr. Utterson saying you have something sordid. We see the Dr. Jekyll. This, in his laboratory, said Poole, when invoked, which does not receive anyone. His very voice seemed changed. Poole said that it received a task to go to get drugs to pharmacies Dr. Jekyll. It also once was the room of anatomy, and when Jekyll saw him come, has a sort of cry and fled the office in a hurry. Utterson thought that the doctor was with a disease that deformed the patient, so his voice is altered, avoided see friends, with anxiety looking for a remedy. For Poole, this was not Dr. Jekyll: figured it was Mr. Hyde. Utterson Dr Jekyll threatened to use force to enter, if it does not open the door. "For the love of God, have mercy!" Soave Hyde's voice. Then break the door. In the middle of the office, acknowledged the contorted body of Edward Hyde jazendo on the floor. Jekyll looking for but not found. I had no where to escape. In the desktop, the lawyer opened an envelope and read a letter from Henry Jekyll to you. He asked Utterson to read the narrative of Lanyon. Left the laboratory, and Utterson was read the two narratives in which this mystery was finally explained.
In the narrative of Lanyon, tells that Jekyll wrote a letter to Lanyon asking you a favor: get a drawer with chemicals, in short. Lanyon could not understand why this favor, but did account for Jekyll. Lanyon was the home of Jekyll and from there took the contents of their own home, where he received an envoy of Jekyll. This individual, dressed ridiculously, after entering the house of Lanyon (the waiting with a gun in case of need to defend itself in self-defense) and I talk, took at once to the formula began to transform itself and Lanyon not understand what happened. Henry Jekyll appears as a raised before Lanyon. Lanyon, in the narrative, tells Utterson that according Henry Jekyll's own confession, the person who had entered the house was known by the name of Mr. Hyde and prosecuted for the murder of Carew.
Henry Jekyll, in short, confesses in a letter, have used a formula that caused the appearance of an I - Edward Hyde (Jekyll regarded as a "pure evil spirit") - in itself. Hyde was disgusting, a bad subject, delivered to sin. Account on the force that Hyde used to say, have their freedom. Finally, he said that the unfortunate end of life wretched doctor named Henry Jekyll.
