Next, Robert Stevenson creates an undoubtable portrait of inner conflict to dramatically show how people have two sides to them. In Robert Stevenson’s novel Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Jekyll talks about his inner conflict and realization “It was on the moral side, and in my own person, that I learned to recognise the thorough and primitive duality of man; I saw that, of the two natures that contended in the field of my consciousness, even if I could rightly be said to be either, it was only because
