Discuss the ways in which Stevenson depicts male oppression in victorian society in Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde

Stevenson challenges victorian beliefs through the use of the metaphor " So recently restrained down". This seeks to express how victorian men felt entrapped in their own state of mind, as they were faced with the pressures of conforming to the unrealistic expectations of their contemporary society.
