Dr JEKYLL AND Mr HYDE- THE THEME OF DUALITY


 MYSELF and THE OTHER FELLOW

LET OUT

ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE

RICH HOUSE-SINISTER

THe DUAL NATURE OF ITS OWNER

"THE VERY PINK OF THE PROPRIETIES"- idiom = much admired, accomplished gentleman

MR HYDE-dwarfish, troglodyte, ape-like

DR JEKYLL-has always concealed his pleasures, sense of shame

MR HYDE-" spring headlong into the sea of liberty"


THOMAS HOBBES " Life is short,nasty, brutish and people are selfish"

JOHN LOCKE " Man is the epitome of tolerance and reason"

JEAN JACQUES ROUSEEAU" we're naturally healthy and happy"

PARADOX of the book- We're radically both-good and evil

To Stevenson we must embrace the complexity of man

What happens when we nourish the lower elements the bad side takes over.

Dr Jekyll " licks the chops oh his memory"- he's proud of his bad actions!

Now he's condemned!
