The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, published in 1886, is a classic example of Gothic literature that explores the theme of duality in human nature. The novella remains relevant to contemporary society as it continues to influence and inspire modern Gothic narratives. In this essay, I will analyze how Robert Louis Stevenson uses the characters of Jekyll and Hyde to convey the concept of good versus evil and discuss the influence of the novella on contemporary Gothic narratives.
Stevenson’s use of duality is evident in the characters of Jekyll and Hyde. Jekyll is a respectable doctor who is admired by society, while Hyde is his evil alter ego, who commits heinous crimes. The duality of Jekyll’s nature is further emphasized by his experiments, through which he separates his good and evil selves. This separation ultimately leads to his downfall, as he becomes addicted to the sense of freedom and power that Hyde represents.
According to Boccaletti (2014), the theme of duality in Gothic literature is rooted in the concept of the “double,” which refers to the split or dual nature of human beings. This idea has been explored in various forms in contemporary Gothic narratives, such as in the films Split (2016) and Us (2019), where the main characters also have dual personalities that are in conflict with each other.
The relevance of the theme of duality in contemporary Gothic narratives is further explored by Winter (2019), who argues that Gothic literature serves as a platform for exploring the “cultural anxieties of a given society.” In contemporary Gothic narratives, duality is often used to explore issues of identity and the struggle to reconcile conflicting aspects of oneself. For example, in the television series The Umbrella Academy (2019), the main characters are a group of siblings who have superpowers and are also struggling to reconcile their dual nature as heroes and flawed human beings.
Stevenson’s use of duality in The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde has influenced contemporary Gothic narratives by establishing the trope of the “split personality” or the “doppelganger.” This trope has been used in a variety of contexts, including horror, science fiction, and psychological thrillers. For example, in the film Black Swan (2010), the main character’s pursuit of perfection leads to a split in her personality, as she becomes consumed by her desire to be the perfect ballerina. The duality of her nature is explored through the use of mirrors and reflections, which symbolize her fragmented identity.
In conclusion, The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde remains relevant to contemporary society as it continues to inspire and influence Gothic narratives. Stevenson’s use of the theme of duality to explore the conflict between good and evil has established a trope that has been used in a variety of contexts. Contemporary Gothic narratives continue to use duality as a platform to explore issues of identity, the struggle to reconcile conflicting aspects of oneself, and cultural anxieties. The influence of Stevenson’s novella on modern Gothic narratives is evidence of its enduring relevance and its status as a classic of Gothic literature.

You can also look for connections between the 19th century texts and more contemporary gothic narratives: where do you see the past influencing the present?
Explore the theme of duality in The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Analyze how the author uses the characters of Jekyll and Hyde to convey the concept of good versus evil and how this theme is relevant to contemporary society.
Discuss the role of science in the novel. How does Dr. Jekyll’s scientific experimentation lead to his downfall? Is the novel a cautionary tale about the dangers of science, or is it a commentary on the ethics of scientific research? How does the novella fit in with other stories from the 19th century about the dangers of scientific exploration (Frankenstein; but also short stories from Nathaniel Hawthorne; also check out HG Wells)? What can the novella help us understand about the ethics of scientific and technological innovation today? *
Examine the significance of setting in the novel. What is the relationship between the dark, ominous streets of London and the duality of Jekyll and Hyde? How does the setting contribute to the overall mood of the novel?
Analyze the character of Mr. Hyde. What motivates him to commit such heinous acts, and what does his character reveal about the darker aspects of human nature? How does Stevenson use the character of Hyde to critique Victorian society’s repressed desires and impulses? You might want to learn about the history of psychology – what might Stevenson and his readers have understood about mental health and identity?
Where are the women in this novel? What does this “homosocial” novel help you understand about the relationship between masculinity and science in 19th century culture? in our own culture?
Where do you see Stevenson’s influence on subsequent stories, especially in terms of the kinds of conflicts and tensions that the narrative explores?
How does this novella contribute to your understanding of the *monstrous* in the gothic? – of monstrousness in general?
