Plot – Mary Reilly grew up in hardships and violence and found a little peace at Dr. Jekyll's working as a maid. The work is hard but it's a safe haven to which Mary wouldn't give up for anything in the world. The admiration for her master leads Mary to accept everything about him, including his ambiguous assistant, Mr. Hyde. This man totally lacks of moral limits, but Mary feels towards him both repulsion and attraction, while for the doctor she feels pure love and devotion. Meanwhile, she wonders about her personality: what if it was "double" too?
