  1. Bell Work Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde • Listen to the song and follow along with the lyrics • Write down what you think the song means • What type of feeling do you get after hearing this song? (happy, sad, etc).

  2. The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Robert Louis Stevenson

  3. Robert Louis Stevenson • Born in Edinburgh, Scotland • Met and married Fanny Osbourne • Lived on England’s southern coast for 3 years with Fanny from 1884-1887 • Sick for most of his life • Very strict religious upbringing • Reacted against his unbringing

  4. Britain in the 1880’s • End of the 1880’s, much social, economic and spiritual change • Positive growth • More people given the right to vote • Working class was given more say/power

  5. Britain in the 1880’s continued • People were visibly separated by social class and status • Jekyll and Hyde brought about fears in people that the society they had worked so hard to create may not be as perfect as they thought

  6. The making of Jekyll & Hyde • 1885, Stevenson has an eerie dream • Wife wakes him up • Describes it as a “fine bogey tale” • Bogey = frightening person or thing • Stevenson wrote his first draft of J&H • Wife, Fanny, encouraged him to change it • Wanted him to focus on “the darker side of human nature”

  7. Jekyll & Hyde as a Novella • Novella = longer and more complex than a short story, yet shorter and simpler than a novel • Why did Stevenson write Jekyll and Hyde as a novella and not a novel or short story? What could be the benefits?

  8. Freud’s Psychoanalysis • 2 parts of the mind: conscious and subconscious Subconscious Conscious • feelings, thoughts, urges & memories • Usually unpleasant or unacceptable (feelings of pain, anxiety, conflict) • influences our behavior • everything we are aware of • think and talk of rationally • part of this is our memory, which can be recalled easily

  9. Example of Subconscious Thought James has just started a new relationship with a woman he met at school. While talking to her one afternoon, he accidentally calls her by his ex-girlfriend's name. While we may call this an accident, a psychoanalyst would say that this is a “Freudian slip” Reveal subconscious thoughts or desires
