Unit 8: Dr Jekyll and Dr Hyde
Tape Script
Presenter: Hello, and welcome to The Book Programme. I’d like to start by telling you something that happened last night. As I was going to bed, I saw that my son’s bedroom light was still on. I knocked on the door and went in. My son was reading in bed. I complained that it was rather late and that it was time for him to go to sleep. I said he would be tired the next day. My son explained that his book was exciting and he wouldn’t be able to sleep until he’d finished it. When I asked him what he was reading, he said, ‘Treasure Island’- probably the most popular book by the writer we’re looking at today: Robert Louis Stevenson. My guest is Sally Spencer, who’s writing a biography of Stevenson. Sally – could you tell us about Stevenson’s life?
Sally Spencer: Certainly. It’s not surprising that your son enjoyed Treasure Island. It was written in 1883 and has been a bestseller ever since. The author, Robert Louis Stevenson, was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1850. As a child, he had health problems and spent a lot of time in bed. In 1867, he went to Edinburgh University to study engineering. However, he was more interested in literature. Stevenson soon told his father he wanted to be a writer.
Presenter: What did his father think about that?
Sally Spencer: He was disappointed as he wanted his son to have a respectable profession. He wanted him to be an engineer like him. But he said his son could be a writer if that was what he wanted.
Presenter: Did he start writing immediately?
Sally Spencer: No, he didn’t. In 1873, he was very ill and his doctor told him he should go abroad to recuperate. That’s why he went to the south of France, where he started to write essays, reviews and short stories.
Presenter: When did he start writing novels?
Sally Spencer: Well, he wrote his best works, including Treasure Island, Kidnapped and Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde between 1880 and 1887.
Presenter: Was he living in Britain during this time?
Sally Spencer: Yes. He lived in Britain until 1887, when his father died. Later, Stevenson and his wife sailed to the South Seas and visited the island of Samoa. The climate there was good for Stevenson’s health and they liked it so much that they decided to live there permanently.
Presenter: Did he ever go back to Scotland?
Sally Spencer: No, he didn’t. He stayed in Samoa and continued writing until he died in 1894.
Presenter: Thank you, Sally. I must admit, I found Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde even more exciting than Treasure Island. When my son reads them both, I’ll ask him if he agrees.

Reading: Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde takes place in London in the nineteenth century. Dr Henry Jekyll, a respected scientist, is doing research into human nature. He believes that human beings have a good and evil side and that these sides are always in conflict. Dr Jekyll’s colleagues disagree with his ideas and disapprove of his research. So Dr Jekyll starts doing secret experiments on himself to prove his ideas. He takes special medicine, which changes not only his character, but also his appearance. For a short time after he takes the medicine, he becomes Mr Hyde, an evil man who looks frightening, has a violent personality and commits terrible crimes.
Later, friends think something strange is happening when Dr Jekyll rewrites his will, leaving everything to Mr Hyde, a man they do not know. They worry more when the police start asking questions about Mr Hyde. Who is this stranger who is never seen at the same time as Dr Jekyll? They think that Dr Jekyll may be protecting Hyde from the police, or that Hyde is blackmailing Dr Jekyll.
Dr Jekyll has now proved that human nature is both good and evil, but soon he starts to enjoy being Mr Hyde. He changes into Mr Hyde more often and finds it more difficult to change back into Mr Jekyll.
Eventually Dr Jekyll changes into Mr Hyde without taking any medicine and finds he cannot change back again. This means that he cannot leave his house, because someone might see him and he might be arrested. The story ends badly for “both” characters.
