It must therefore presuppose some notion of the self. Critical theory may be seen as providing a substantive and non-neutral position for the exercise of critical thinking. It therefore

The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde R.L. STEVENSON 1886 Published in 1886, R.L Stevenson’s The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is, along with Frankenstein and Dracula, one of the best-known stories of 19th-century British fiction. It is often remembered, by those who have read it or seen one of the numerous filmic adaptations of the novella, as the sensational dramatization of the conflict between good and evil within man.

comme celle que met en scène le film The Scarlet letter (1995), adapté du livre. Cette œuvre expose comment la loi réagit devant un amour qu'elle interdit, et quelles sont les conséquences de cette réaction sur des personnages incarnant différents points de vue. L'intrigue en effet se déroule dans une communauté puritaine de la nouvelle Amérique à la discipline de fer.
