Abstract
Definable as a deviant text of Victorian canonical literature, The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde shows, even in this dual feature of being deviant and canonical at the same time, its special structural and interpretive relation with the motif of the double, which, undoubtedly, is one of its main paradigms. Every discourse on the double as a literary, cultural, psychological, psychoanalytical category nowadays is somehow uttered having in mind Stevenson’s novel, and its rewritings and adaptations range from high to popular culture, and from stage to videogames, to cinema, to comics. After a critical and contextualizing reading of the text, the focus of this paper will be on one of these rewritings.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
