Themes - Duality Flashcards
What shows that every person has two sides to them
Man is not truly one, but truly two
Jekyll says this in the last chapter
How is the street (of where Hyde’s house is) showing duality
The street shone out in contrast to its dinghy neighbourhood, like fire in a forest
Jekyll admits another side of his character
I was thinking of my own character which this hateful business has rather exposed
How Jekyll tries to repress the second side that had come out
He came out of seclusion, renewed relations with his friends
Jekyll explicitly states that man is dual
Severed in me those provinces of good and evil which divide and compound man’s dual nature
Jekyll thinks you can get rid of one side
Could be housed in separate identities, life would be relieved of all that was unbearable; the unjust might go his way
Jekyll feels transformed by becoming hyde - but really he is just one person
One side can take over the other too
At the first breath of this new life, to be wicked, tenfold more wicked, sold a slave to my original evil
The two sides are really one - they share things
My two natures had memory in common
Stevenson likes Darwinism to Freuds theory and duality
Primitive duality of man
He is confronted with the fact he is neither one side nor th either
It was only because I was radically both
How does duality link to Darwin
Many people wanted to get rid of their ‘bad’ side which they believed was the ape-like primitive part of them, like Hyde
But Jekyll still believes that there is not exclusively a good / bad side
I had come forth an angel instead of a fiend
What does Enfield do that shows he has another side
someplace at the end of the world, about three o clock of a black winter morning
