Using what you know about the historical context at the time of publication, me discuss one issue from victorian life that is present in the strange case of dr. jekyll and mr. hyde.

Well, one obvious issue is the fear that advancing technology and rapid industrialization -- a prominent feature of the Victorian Era -- would corrupt humanity, and lead people to do monstrous things. This is also a theme struck in "Frankenstein" and several of Jules Verne's stories, and you can see its modern echo in the fretting people do over video games and the Internet.
