I think that anything he dis is because of his family background and his career. The beginning of his confession says that he inherits large fortune, if he has no money, he will not continue to do his such a horrible and evil experiment.
As he is doing the experiment, and change into Hyde. He feels stronger and younger than ever. He is steeped in murder. But as time passes, because he drinks drug many times and again and again or the side effect of drug or the experiment fails, he become can not control his mind and he wants be a normal man and return back to be himself. But it is too late, he makes a big mistake. He repent for what he did. Everybody will make mistakes. It is no use crying over spilt milk. Everybody will try to forgive you. If there is big and very serious mistake, then ask god, if god forgive you, then you win!

I think Dr. Jekyll chooses a right way to stop his crazy actions. Dr. Jekyll drinks the medicine and kills himself. In the end of the book, Dr. Jekyll knows that he has done something wrong. He has to stop himself, but he can't control himself. So he decides to kill himself. I think that is great. If I was Dr. Jekyll, I might continue to do bad things. But Dr. Jekyll chooses to die that because he doesn't want to do bad things any more. From this book, I know Dr. Jekyll is not only a sciente, but he also is a greatful man.

I think Mr.Jekyll is too foolish. He does not need to drink the poison. Mr.Utterson will forgive him, even everyone. Everybody will helps him. Everybody cares for him.
Maybe, somebody think he is right to kill himself, because in the post, he kills a lot of people. Everybody does not like him, even hates him. If Mr.Hyde still exist in this world, many people will continue to be murdered. I think in Dr.Jekyll's mind, he also does not want to live in this world, because he thinks everybody does not forgive him.

The end makes me confuse because Dr.Jekyll says that he and the Mr.Hyde is the same person but at the end we can see one picture which shows us when Dr.Jekyll writes his last letter behind him stands a shadow like short ugly man. It's seem that some one follows him and control him all the time. Maybe it is Mr. Hyde, maybe he's plane is to get all of Dr.Jekyll's money and became rich, but he's plan does not work at all. I think that Dr. Jekyll checks some chemicals on Mr.Hyde how ever it shows bad result and Hyde became ugly and short man. He gets angry and he wants to became like everyone but Dr.Jekyll knows that it can not be changed so he just leave him alone in hes Lab. Also Mr.Hyde can not find the way how to change his appearance, he kills him self.

In my opinion Dr.jekyll decided to make his experiment to prove to his friend that he was not a mad scientist and that we all have good and evil in us and also so he could enjoy the wild side of life that he as a scientist could not enjoy because he had a reputation to protect.

I think that the end of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is not a surprised for many people as for me. When we were reading this book, everything was excited, however when one of many parts tells us that handwriting of those two people are similar to each other then, I knew kind of the end, like what will happened.
Therefore, the end was really interesting as whole book.
During his experiments Dr. Jekyll was changing into Mr. Hyde, he felt completely different. He was younger and much stronger than his first body. Over time he wanted go back to regular man, because he cannot control himself and things that he did. However, it was too late, because of his own mistake.

In my opinion, the ending of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a litter bit sad, because both Dr. Jekyll and Dr. Lanyon are died. I can say that it is a terrible experiment. Because of Dr. Jekyll’s curious, they get a lot of troubles and people died. From this we also can see that we cannot change the natural things and the environment, if we do, eventually, we will just hurt ourselves badly. We need to follow the rules of nature and base on it to develop then, but not just obey the whole things and do whatever we want. Everything has their own rules, we need to always follow it, but I am not means that we cannot do anything creative, we need to creative but it needs to base on the rules.

I think the ending is very amazing. Mr. Jekyll also is Mr. Hyde. He just drinks drug and changes himself become the Mr. Hyde. Before I think Mr. Jekyll is a crazy man. He doesn`t want to be himself. He creates drug and let him to be an ugly and horrible man. He kills the people and let everyone think he is an evil. But in the end, I think he is right, because he can`t control himself and he afraid he would kill more and more people. He kills himself and tells Mr. Lawyer the true.

Dr.Jekyll starts confessing with his letters to Mr. Utterson .Mr. Utterson starts knowing what was happening to Mr. Jekyll he was doing a experiment .Mr. Utterson read the part that say about he’s theory about how can he could separate his two personalities, and mr. Jekyll find the way two do it .but dr.Jekyll was afraid of the other part of himself with that change he start to be Mr. Hyde. He feels stronger and younger than ever. He is steeped in murder, Mr.jekkyll start killing people been Mr. Hyde he don’t like to because the experiment change he begin to be Hyde without drinking the potion he was afraid because every time when he was Mr. Hyde he hurts some or even worst.
At the end he realize that he should never going to do the same mistake know he is dead. And Mr. Utterson is more richer.

I think Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde this book is very exciting. Because Dr. Jekyll use himself to do this experiment, at first he feels very surprised, he likes to have two characters for him. However, at the end he confesses that he makes a mistake, but at that time it is too late. His confession cannot change everything. Because before he drinks too much drug, then he less and less able to control Mr. Hyde‘s appearance. That means Dr. Jekyll will become Mr. Hyde forever, Dr. Jekyll is dies, however. Mr. Hyde is born.
‘Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde’ this book means someone with two very different sides to their personality. Also In face we cannot like something very much, like ‘Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde’. Because Dr. Jekyll likes to become other people to do anything he wants, he likes that feeling. But after he keeps going to drink drug many times, then he become Mr. Hyde forever. It is very horrible.

Dr. Jekyll suicides by himself because he think that he doesn't have face by Mr. Utterson. So he chooses this way. I think he does wrong, people who suicide because they finish their mission, they ought to make a greater contribution to humanity. like Ernest Hemingway, Van Gogh.......they both suicides because they thought they can't contribution any more. In the book, we know that Dr. Jekyll has ability, he creates a medicine, it can make people change to another person, I think he is talent and he can be great doctor in the future. Everyone has made mistakes. If they confess and suffer the punishment, they can have a new life. In that moment, Dr. Jekyll doesn't want to face his punishment therefore he suicides. That is unfortunately.

In the end of this book i was thining that mr. hyde killed dr. jekyll but not was like that mr. hyde and dr. jekyll was the same person with two identity one of scientist and the other identity was a poor man. this story is mysterious because mr. hyde look like a evil person but i think that he look like a evil person because dr. jekyll did not want that the people know that he is mr.hyde too. dr.jekyll was crazy he was making a lot of crazy experiment.

I think the ending is very surprised. Ms. Hyde is Dr. Jekyll. Dr. Jekyll find a drug that could give each side of character its own separate face and body. He drink every bitter drop, he want to be young, strong and full of life, but when he change into Ms. Hyde, Hyde is too strong for him. He is wholly evil. Dr. Jekyll cannot control him, his good self and his evil self were fighting for his mind and body, and his evil self was winning. Dr. Hyde kills many people. In the end, Dr. Jekyll choses death. It’s all Dr. Jekyll ‘s wrongs.
People’s desire is selfish. Dr .Jekyll wants to do something exciting. But it causes something terrible.

After we have finished the novel of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, it's the amazing ending that is a surprise for us. We feel sorry about that Dr. Jekyll final disaster has arrived because he makes a big mistake. He drinks too much drug so that he cannot control his appearance between Mr. Hyde and himself. He loses his own face and character forever. As we know that evil people would have a punishment that the god revenges them when they have done something bad for the society. We are supposed to contribute something good for everybody. Make sure that is a great accomplishment when we do the big project. Other hand, we need to remember that do not lose our own because want to proof unscientific ideas.

I think this ending is very surprised. I cannot guess the ending like this. Dr. Jekyll doing this dangerous experiment, I think he needs thinking and work out more carefully. Then begin the experiment. Dr. Jekyll is Mr. Hyde, a person has two sides, the nice Dr. Jekyll and the bad Ms. Hyde. That is a person’s good side and bad side. When Dr. Jekyll decide to do this experiment. The result is doomed. When Dr. Jekyll die, Ms. Hyde will be disappeared. The murder is himself

Wow! Strange ending! Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is the same person! To tell you the truth I really don’t like this ending. When I saw the ending I cannot believe my eyes. Dr. Jekyll is a kindness and helpful person. However, Mr. Hyde is an inhuman. He is a murder! They are different. I hate Mr. Hyde and I also don’t very like Mr. Hyde but I still cannot accept that they are the same person. Although, at the beginning I have guessed that maybe Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde are the same person. At the end of the story, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde both died.
This story tells me human cannot control other people’s lives, thinking and so on. Don’t be selfish. Because Dr. Jekyll just thinks about himself and his subject, he created Mr. Hyde—the inhuman! At last, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde both died. Maybe, this ending is the best ending but it still let me sad.

To my surprised, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is the same person. Everyone has two sides to his/her character. Just like, Dr. Jekyll is the good one and Mr. Hyde is the evil one. He is two people, but they live together in the same body. Usually, the good one is stronger than the evil one. But if you cannot control yourself, the evil one would be stronger than the good one. It is terrible. The evil one would do harm to people, even yourself, as the ending of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde that Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde die at last. So we should live happily everyday and become forgiving.

I think this is the good way for end. But i don't want Mr.Jekyll disappear. I think the best end is about Mr.Jekyll can alive and Mr.Hyde disappear. Everyone wants to get something they don't have. This is greed. We should treasure everything we have and don't jealous other people.

In the end of this scary story Dr. Jekyll confess himself in a letter that he left to Mr .Utterson. In this letter Dr. Jekyll share with Mr.Utterson the opening out of his evil part of his body and he could not control it because every time he drink the potion that could help him to take back his normal appearance the evil part of his body show out again he could not stop it. Dr Jekyll fell sorrow of himself and he decided to kill to make an end of everything by drinking a poison.
