Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a classic mystery from the Victorian era. Good and evil is found in everybody but it's up to you to choose. In Robert Louis Stevenson novella Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Stevenson uses physical descriptions to reflect good and evil in London and Soho. The use of of physical descriptions of Soho establishes the feeling of evil. Utterson and Inspector Newcomen go to Hyde's house to arrest him for the murder of Sir Danvers Carew. Utterson and Newcomen head to Soho when they arrived “the dismal quarter of Soho seen under these changing glimpses with its muddy ways and slatternly passengers” (Stevenson 26). These descriptions of Soho shows that the residents were dirty and untidy and the city was corrupt with bad ways.
