| Summary |
"Salaperäinen ovi" by Robert Louis Stevenson is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story introduces Mr. Utterson, a cold and serious lawyer, who is described as having an unyielding demeanor but is nonetheless compelled to help those in need. The narrative begins to unfold around mysteries surrounding a dark door and a man named Mr. Hyde, whose sinister actions provoke Utterson's curiosity and concern, particularly in relation to his friend Dr. Jekyll. At the start of the novel, Mr. Utterson and his friend Mr. Enfield discuss a mysterious door they encountered during a walk. Enfield recounts a shocking incident involving Mr. Hyde, who trampled a young girl and subsequently paid restitution with a check linked to Dr. Jekyll's name. Utterson's intrigue intensifies when he learns of Jekyll's unusual will that benefits Hyde, indicating a troubling connection between the two. As Utterson reflects on the implications of Hyde's behavior and his friend's strange testamentary arrangements, a sense of foreboding begins to build, suggesting deeper and darker secrets that will unfold in this unsettling tale.
