As chief financial officer with New Haven Terminal, Michael Vasaturo manages a full range of corporate activities, from bank relations to human resources. Mike Vasaturo is an avid reader who considers Robert Louis Stevenson’s “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” one of his favorite books. The plot of the late 19th century book came to the Scottish author as a dream and allowed him to explore the dualities contained within many people in a rapidly modernizing era.
As a character, Dr. Henry Jekyll is a respected intellectual who creates a concoction that, when swallowed, transforms him into a deformed, amoral version of himself. At first, Dr. Jekyll welcomes his alter ego as a way of experiencing widely varying aspects of life. Aware of his own duplicitous nature, he is able to free himself from the struggle of hiding impulses and unleash the evil part of himself. Unfortunately, Mr. Hyde gradually assumes a dominant role and leads Dr. Jekyll to his ruination. In this remarkable novella, Stevenson was able to explore the wildly differing versions of the self that often reside within a single person.
