In 'Jekyll & Hyde: Detective Fiction', pupils explore how Stevenson uses the conventions of gothic fiction to expose key themes such as secrecy and concealment. In 'Jekyll and Hyde: Gothic Fiction', pupils build on this to explore how gothic texts are often concerned with hidden and illicit desires. 

In 'Sherlock Holmes: Short Stories', pupils explore the ways in which victims and villains are portrayed, evaluating whether some villains are portrayed more sympathetically than others. In 'Jekyll and Hyde: Detective Fiction', pupils examine the ways in which Stevenson uses and subverts the conventions of detective fiction both to build suspense and to critique Victorian society.

In this unit, pupils complete their first reading and exploration of 'Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde'. They read the novella in full, before thinking about the importance of the Gothic, science and religion. They then explore key characters and essay writing before writing about duality in the novella.
