    Apr 21 2025
    Robert Louis Stevenson's chilling novella, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, delves into the duality of human nature through the respected Dr. Henry Jekyll, who scientifically isolates his own evil impulses into a separate, monstrous personality: Mr. Edward Hyde. As the lawyer Mr. Utterson investigates the increasingly sinister connection between his friend Jekyll and the repulsive Hyde, the story explores themes of reputation versus reality in Victorian society, the dangers of unchecked scientific ambition, the consequences of repressing one's darker side, and the terrifying potential for evil that exists within even the most respectable individuals, ultimately showing Jekyll's loss of control and descent into irreversible darkness.

    Little Women (Full Book) - Part 2 - Chapter 25 to 47 | Classic Stories
    Apr 12 2025
    Louisa May Alcott's Little Women follows the four distinct March sisters – Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy – as they grow from girls into young women in Civil War-era New England, guided by their wise mother, Marmee, while their father serves in the army. Living through genteel poverty, the sisters navigate individual challenges and ambitions: responsible Meg longs for society and love, fiercely independent Jo dreams of being a writer, gentle Beth is the loving heart of the home but struggles with shyness and health, and artistic Amy desires refinement and beauty. The novel explores their triumphs and sorrows, their friendships (notably with neighbor Laurie), romantic entanglements, experiences with illness and loss, and their personal growth as they learn to manage their flaws, support each other, and find their own paths toward fulfilling lives, offering enduring lessons on family bonds, resilience, societal expectations for women, and the importance of virtue and character.
