This course offers a deep dive into Robert Louis Stevenson’s timeless novella, “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,” exploring themes of duality, identity, morality, and the human psyche. Through close reading, analysis, and contextual exploration, students will unravel the complexities of Stevenson’s narrative and its enduring significance in literature.
The course will begin with an examination of the historical and cultural context in which Stevenson wrote, considering the scientific and philosophical developments of the Victorian era that influenced the novella’s themes.
