All of the stories we have gone over this far throughout the year are for the most part have some connection with the real world. Jekyll and Hyde‚ Frankenstein‚ and serial killers are all monsters that have a special connection to everyday society. Jekyll and Hyde was a story about a person’s life who got overtaken
