10. How does Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde depict health? (Hint: Please
consider the Health learning outcome on the syllabus as well as the

It depicts health as social wellbeing. The ability of one of the

interacting with others. This typically corresponds to physiological
health, in that paleness or dwarfism are considered to be negative
qualities, but it is very much a social construct as well.
