Freud's theory was that of the concious and the unconcious mind. I believe that this ties in because when Dr. Jeckly was Dr. Jeckyll, Hyde was always living inside him, somewhere untouched and hidden but only the medicine brought him to light. But it was not just Dr. Jeckyll where it existed. Mr. Utterson shows us towards the beginning of the novel that Mr. Hyde evoked some sort of inner demon withinsid him; Hyde provoked his and others dual identities. Dr. Jeckyll's concious mind is "any memory that can be made easily brought to mind." THe unconcious mind, however, controls our drives and our instincts: the things not readily available in our memory. Freud said "it is the source of our motivations." YThis makes me wonder what Dr. Jeckyll's concoius mid was thinking and did he had no regard for hiuman life in his concious mind but just tried to live thorugh sicietal norms? And what urges or desires or motivations have we all pushed to the back of our minds? Stevenson wrote almost a complete parallell to his theory. I think that, though obviously an extreme case, Stevenson wrote what would happen if all of our unconcoius were brought to light and all that we had learned to be socially acceptale had fallen by the wayside. It is very interesting thogh that Freud was after this time. I wonder whether or not he looked upon J&H when or after he formulated this theory and how he felt about it.
