What was Dr.jekylls ultimate goal in his scientific experiments?

Dr. Jekyll's ultimate goal in his scientific experiments was to separate the dual nature of humanity, specifically the good and evil aspects within himself. He sought to create a potion that would allow him to transform into a separate entity, Edward Hyde, who could indulge in immoral behaviors without tarnishing his respectable identity. This experimentation was driven by his desire for freedom from societal constraints and the exploration of his darker impulses. Ultimately, his pursuits led to disastrous consequences, illustrating the inherent conflict between the two sides of human nature.
