2. Elements of romance/relationship

The predominant relationship in The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is the relationship between Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. This relationship is what drives the book, one day Dr Jekyll invents a potion that can separate his evil side from himself, thus creating Mr. Hyde. He transforms into Mr. Hyde at will by drinking the potion, then enjoys being evil because, as Mr Hyde is pure evil, he has no conscience. Then when he transforms into Mr Hyde unwillingly, and can not find any of the potion to turn him back, he takes his own life to rid the world of the murderous Mr Hyde. At first Dr. Jekyll willingly accepts Mr Hyde, because transforming into him grants him freedoms he can not experience as Dr Jekyll, but when Hyde becomes too dangerous, Dr Jekyll sacrifices himself to get rid of Hyde.
