Stiles, Anne. “Robert Louis Stevenson’s Jekyll and Hyde and the Double Brain”. Studies in English Literature, 1500-1900 46.4. pp. 879-900. Autumn 2006. Print.

In this article Anne Stiles discusses the theory of the double brain. She shares the idea that the left and right hemispheres have totally different characteristics that can both function individually. She believes that each hemisphere might house a separate personality and possibly a separate soul. This article definitely relates to the characters Jekyll and Hyde. This article is objective and not biased because it gives multiple ideas about the double brain theory. Anne Stiles’ work would be useful for someone arguing about the brains structure and how it influences personality and human behavior.
