Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde articulates Freud’s dream of overcoming discontent through release from civilization. Abandoning the chains of respectability, Hyde experiences energies hitherto unknown to Jekyll–a new level of vitality. In the Sixties, millions began using drugs as the vehicle of liberation (Dr. Leary as Dr. Jekyll) seeking to let go of society in order to recover repressed fantasies and desires: Free at last (thank God almighty): free at last.
