How does The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde relate to Christianity?

Christians believe that all human beings are imperfect and subject to sin.  It is not possible for us to be perfectly good, though we can try, because we are sinful by nature.  (One can trace this idea back to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.)  We are easily tempted, easily led astray from the path of righteousness, and this weakness is fundamental to our human natures.  It is through our genuine atonement and...

Christians believe that all human beings are imperfect and subject to sin.  It is not possible for us to be perfectly good, though we can try, because we are sinful by nature.  (One can trace this idea back to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.)  We are easily tempted, easily led astray from the path of righteousness, and this weakness is fundamental to our human natures.  It is through our genuine atonement and by asking God's forgiveness that we receive God's grace.

In The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Dr. Jekyll, embarrassed by the sins he feels compelled to conceal (because his Victorian society would judge him incredibly harshly were they known), attempts to separate out his own human sinfulness and, in so doing, eliminate it from his person entirely.  Then, he will have no sins to conceal because he will feel no desire to commit them.  This backfires, and the sinful part of his nature ultimately becomes stronger than his goodness and overpowers it.  Christian doctrine says that it is impossible to separate one's sinfulness from one's goodness because both are inherent to human beings; we are, by nature, a combination of the two.  Thus, his experiment must be a failure because what he attempts to do is simply not possible.
