This story was written in 1886 by Robert Louis Stevenson, became a popular play and has also been filmed many times. First, the genre of this book are suspense, fantasy and horror. A man named Dr Jekyll has two faces and hide another one, then appear it at night. Now you can cleary see the meaning of this title. He really wished to be a perfect person and invented a poison which makes him strong including his mind. But, life is not easy more than he expected. He acted strange and even killed some people after he drank his original poison. I think he was too seek for his ideal to control himself. He didn't seem to be a human at all. He was like a monster and you can see the reason why the picture of this book lookes scary.
I found that emotional balance is important through this book. No one is perfect and should not criticize yourself too much.You have to find ways to focus on something besides your own problems without original poison. As a result, you should do your best to make your life grateful one. Just be you!
