How can Jack the Ripper be any part of this work when the supposed murders didn't take place until 3 years after the book was published?

[Mr. Prohovich]

This book is awsome for its time because it represents all that the society back then feared. The complete ingnoring of social values and heartless deeds commited by Mr. Hyde are totaly in sync with Jack the Ripper and Sherlock Holmes. People tell stories to express themselves, every monster in a story, although harder to point out today, is a fabrication of societies fears and worries. Mr. Hyde represented the exect opposite of what a Victorian Gentleman should have acted and the savagness of his actions is what made the book so scary back then.<br><br>An exellent book.
