Marxism approach of Stevenson’s Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
The Strange Case of Mr. Hyde and Dr. Jekyll, Jekyll and Hyde, or simply Mr. Hyde and
Dr. Jekyll is a novella written by Robert Louis Stevenson, a Scottish author. Its first publication
was in 1886 with the original title as Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The story is about
Gabriel John Utterson, a London lawyer who investigates strange the happenings between his
onetime friend, Dr. Henry Jekyll, and the evil Edward Hyde. There are two personalities within
Dr. Jekyll in this scenario - one is apparently good, and the other one is evil (Stevenson 46).
This setting of the story is in the Victorian culture, and it represents a concept in the inner
conflict of the sense of good and wrong in humanity. During this time, there was a sharp division
of the society into distinct social classes with their matching communities (Williams 39).
In Forlorn Sunset (1947), Michael Sadleir describes London as “three parts jungle”
noting that very few districts were public in the sense that people could move in and out of them
with ease. Most people were uncomfortable and often unwelcome in parts of town that inhabited
by members of a different social group. To avoid wandering into an unknown area, most people
in London stayed in their neighborhoods (Williams 43). This geographical and social
fragmentation is an essential part of the setting of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (Jenkins 25).
