A PSYCHOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF THE NOVELLA STRANGE CASE OF DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE WRITTEN BY R.L.STEVENSON
Abstract
This article explores the psychological aspects of Robert Louis Stevenson’s Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde through the lens of Carl Jung’s concept of the shadow. The novella portrays the duality of human nature, with Dr. Henry Jekyll representing the socially acceptable, conscious self, and Mr. Edward Hyde embodying the repressed, darker impulses of the psyche. Using Jungian theory, this article examines how Jekyll’s attempts to separate and control his two identities lead to psychological fragmentation and moral decay. By analyzing the characters of Jekyll and Hyde, this paper highlights the psychological consequences of refusing to integrate the unconscious and emphasizes the necessity of confronting and accepting the shadow for psychological wholeness.
