This article highlights several issues emerging during the Victorian era, a time of many changes and difficulties in England. During the Industrial Revolution, living conditions changed radically; as a result, the economy shifts from an agricultural economy to an industrial economy. The Victorian era was also marked by immense progress and achievements. New values ​​were placed on religion and faith in a society that was unrealistic for women. Robert Stevenson's novel, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, is told through a third party, Mr. Utterson, who is Dr. Jekyll's lawyer. There are no major female characters in this story. As women struggled to break free from a male-dominated society, Victorian men felt threatened by feminists who sought their personal freedoms. Stevenson's novel was influenced by Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1818) and Stevenson pays homage to it at various points in his novel. Mr. Hyde's rebellious nature threatened the balance of equality in English society. The escalation of horror in The Curious Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Mr. Hyde depends on the oppression of women. The more women were oppressed, the more horror the characters felt. In Robert Stevenson's novel, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, he channels Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, leaving the voice of a female character absent, which alienates femininity, showing the hypocrisy in through male characters and the influence of purity and sin. The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde could be compared to Mary Shelley's Frankenstein as they both characterize their female characters as passive, disposable, and useless.
