Shakespeare, deeply rooting to love as humans ultimate weakness and downfall. Setting dictates the mood, the way the story is portrayed, as well as the way the reader connects with the characters.

the public persona of a man who is much more and other--than he appears to be, we realize that it is the doctor's addiction that offers the means by which the character of Henry Jekyll is to be definitively understood" (1994).
