This 22-slide lesson analyses Stevenson’s use of the Gothic genre in ‘The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde’.
The lesson prompts students to consider Stevenson’s deliberate use of setting, mood and atmosphere to exploit Gothic tropes. Key featues of the genre such as suspense, violence, doubling, and damsels in distress are deconstructed. Extracts from the novella are included for close analysis.
The lesson features discussion points and questions for students, and ends with an extended task (which could be set as a homework activity).
This lesson serves as an ideal supplement to those studying the text at GCSE (especially with AQA), but could be used for KS3 too.
