Is Dr Jeyklle and Mr Hyde real?

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde are wholly fictional characters imagined by R. L Stevenson in a novel first published in 1886.There may be a faint basis in reality for the story, inasmuch as when he was young Stevenson had started work on a play about Deacon Brodie:- a notorious Edinburgh alderman and local politician who had maintained an alter ego as a housebreaker and highwayman.Stevenson eventually abandoned the idea of writing about Deacon Brodie, but continued his interest in men with a split personality. Eventually he worked his fascination through in the tale of Dr. Jekyll.
