Stevenson’s Aesthetics of Entanglement and NonDisjunction in The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
Journal Title: Lublin Studies in Modern Languages and Literature - Year 2016, Vol 40, Issue 40
Abstract
The paper engages with Stevenson’s novel The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde from the perspective of essential duality embedded in every one’s nature: it explicates the entangling nature of binaries and the aesthetics of non-disjunction of the binary self/Other as embodied in the figures of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde respectively. By the novel’s end, the two aspects, the Jekyllean and the Hydean, are perceived not only as “innately responsive and relational” (Schapiro 1995: 128) to each other but also as entangled and non-disjunctive within the synthesizing model of the Hegelian dialectic.
