Understanding the Context of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
Scene Summary: The story of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is set in Victorian London, a city characterized by stark contrasts between wealth and poverty, morality and vice. Robert Louis Stevenson explores themes of duality and human nature through the characters of Dr Jekyll, a respected scientist, and Mr Hyde, his darker alter ego. The narrative hints at the burgeoning fears of scientific experimentation and moral decay prevalent during that era. The setting reflects a society grappling with rapid industrial progress, where the boundaries between good and evil are blurred. Key phrases such as 'the duality of man' and 'the mask we wear' encapsulate the central themes. Contextually, the novel comments on Victorian society's obsession with reputation and the hidden depths of human psychology. It is believed that Stevenson drew inspiration from contemporary scientific debates and the cultural tensions of his time, illustrating how societal pressures can create internal conflict. Understanding this background helps readers appreciate the symbolic significance of Jekyll's experiments and Hyde's emergence, which symbolize the struggle between societal expectation and personal desire.
