The novel and the movie were pretty different in the way they portrayed the case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Compared to the book, there was no mystery for the audience about what was happening to Dr. Jekyll even though people in the movie did not know what was happening. I enjoyed the mystery presented in the novel version of the story. The Novel also made no mention of any women in while the movie introduced two. The romantic and lust element added to the movie helped to portray the differences between Jekyll and Hyde more so than the novel revealed in my opinion. It was very clear how split his personalities became when you could view them being acted out than reading people’s opinions in the novel. Overall I found the movie surprisingly enjoyable and even funny at times compared to the novel which was an interesting mystery, suspense story, but overall very dry.
