초록
This paper aims to revisit the conventional theme of good and evil in Robert Louis Stevenson’s The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (1886) by postulating its narrative structure as a hide-and-seek game between the reader and the writer or between a lawyer Utterson and Mr Hyde. This story is evaluated as an archetype of a gothic, which deals with the duality of human nature in a form of atavism. Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde in one personality symbolize a modern schizophrenic subject, standing on the border between good and evil. Although this character is still being reproduced in current popular culture, Stevenson’s this work is not properly evaluated under superficial examination. While the conventional gothic romances tend to use narrative collage based on discovered manuscripts and hearsay, this novel has a narrative structure compounded with testimony, journals, letters, and first-person narration, centering on professional male characters, such as an attorney, a doctor, and a scientist. By focusing on the distinctive narrative structure, rereading this underestimated novel will contribute to expand interpretational possibilities to comprehend Mr Hyde as “liquid fear” in a modern city in the twentieth century as well as in London in the nineteenth century.

This story is evaluated as an archetype of a gothic, which deals with the duality of human nature in a form of atavism. Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde in one personality symbolize a modern schizophrenic subject, standing on the border between good and evil.
