Among the extracts that we have studied this year, I prefered « The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde » by Robert Louis Stevenson, in: « Characters: from Evolution to Metamorphosis. » I loved analyze the passages of this novel, because it’s easy to recognize the Gothic elements. For instance : the stranges events, the darkness and transgression moral codes like awe. I found this extract very interesting, I would like watch the two movies (the first who has made in 1931 and the second who dated from 1996).

The firt is amazing, I’m mad about old black and white movies !
I also like to analyze the gothic elements in films: the sinisters places, the grotesque elements, the mysterious, the ghostly, the eerie atmosphere….
These elements are present in the adaptation of Jane Eyre who is the topic of my TPE.
