My favorite is the incident when Dr. Jekyll decides to drink the potion and becomes Mr Hyde. 8) PLOT DEVELOPMENT • INTRODUCTION: The story starts on one London street, where there are two men talking about a mystery door. Later, at night, a little girl screamed on the corner of this street and the people who were on the street, could saw a man going into this mystery door. Both men decided to never talk about that. • DEVELOPMENT: One day, one of couple of men called Mr. Utterson, got into this door, and saw a envelope in wich, his friend, Dr. Jekyll left him his inheritance. Mr. Utterson asks to Jekyll if he could see Mr. Hyde, and he said no. But Jekyll makes Mr. Utterson promise that he will take care of Mr. Hyde. • CLIMAX:
The most exiciting part it’s the end of the story. Because Mr. Utterson and Poole find the Mr. Hyde’s body on the floor, a goodbye letter and a will.
• CONCLUSION: At the end, Dr. Jekyll knows that he can’t control his body, and he drinks a potion to be normal, but it doesn’t react. So he decided to kill himself while he is on Mr. Hyde’s body.
