Read the text and choose the right variant to complete the sentences. Who is a Monster: Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde?
Mr. Utterson is a London lawyer who is a friend of Dr. Jekyll. Doctor Jekyll is a kind, prominent and educated man, a medical doctor and scientist. Jekyll gave up his regular practice to experiment with non-traditional medicine. Utterson is worried because Jekyll has written a will (=his last wish) that leaves all his money to his new partner Mr. Hyde. Utterson has heard bad things of Hyde and disliked him at first sight when they met. The lawyer thinks his friend is being blackmailed (to blackmail – шантажировать).
One day, the lawyer is asked to identify the body of a murdered man, Sir Danvers Carew. Hyde is suspected of the murder, but he has disappeared. Jekyll swears that he has not seen Hyde and has broken with him forever. The case remains unsolved.
Suddenly, though, Jekyll locks himself into his laboratory yelling (=speaking) to the servants through the door, directing them to gather (=collect) chemicals for him. The servants recognize a change in his voice and think that their master has been murdered and another man has taken his place in the lab. They call Utterson who breaks down the door. On the floor lies Hyde, who has killed himself with poison. Sadly, Utterson understands Hyde returned and killed Jekyll, but the doctor’s body is nowhere to be found.
He does find, however, a letter in which Jekyll explains his relationship to Hyde. Doctor Jekyll believed that there are two parts to each person: the ‘Good Self’ which is civilized and tries to be the best all the time; and the ‘Bad Self’ which we try to suppress at all times. He decides to find a way to separate his two beings. He succeeds in his experiments with chemicals and transforms into Hyde to commit horrifying crimes. For a while Jekyll enjoys his two bodies as he can do whatever he likes without fear of discovery. He is shocked when Hyde kills Sir Danvers Carew and threatens his bride (невеста). He decides never to take the chemicals again. However, Hyde is now strong and appears to learn whether Jekyll will have him or not. Indeed, Jekyll must use the poison to get rid of him. Jekyll understands that it is only by killing his body that’s Hyde’s body, too, will die.
