Using what you know about the historical context at the time of publication, discuss one issue from Victorian life that is present in The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Your response should be a minimum of 5 sentences.

The issue which I like the most in the novella is fitting in the Victorian society. Victorian society was one that was famous for being very strict when it came to social acceptance. We see Dr. Jekyll as a highly ranked man according to the society's values and beliefs, being very educated and wealthy. He, like many others is not actually content with his position in the society because he has to hold back his urges. Showing individualism and emotions was forbidden in the Victorian society, which is something he craved, yet wasn't allowed because it would ruin his position. This is the main reason why he started turning into Mr. Hyde. It was like a valve that he could use to blow of some steam without ruining his reputation.
