Allusion to "Things Fall Apart" or "Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde"?

Question

Hi!
I was wondering if anyone knew of a movie, or television show in which a reference to the novels "Things Fall Apart" or "Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" was made at all. This must be a direct allusion, using some sort of specific part of the book, preferably stating the name of the novel. First person to answer with a legitimate answer recieves 10 points!!!

Answer 1

You probably know that the title of Achebe's novel is itself an allusion - to W.B. Yeats' poem, "The Second Coming:"

"URNING and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born"

Here's a reference from TV - see first link

"The West Wing"

and "The Sopranos"

"Things Fall Apart
On ''The Sopranos,'' AJ tries to commit suicide, and Meadow nearly becomes collateral damage in Tony's battle with Phil
"Implausible? Should we blame AJ's suddenly blossoming thirst for knowledge instead? College has made him painfully aware that the world is a profoundly unfair place, from the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to the pounding his junior-Mafia frat-boy pals inflicted last week on that hapless Somali bicyclist. College also introduced him to Yeats' famously ominous and apocalyptic poem ''The Second Coming'' (which gave this episode its title). As Carm said, what vulnerable kid wouldn't get depressed reading that? Still, Meadow had a similar educational awakening when she was an undergraduate and responded with volunteerism and social activism, not by shutting down."

As for Dr, Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, well, the movie "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen comes to mind, It's on this list of allusionsa to that book:

[‘A story set in contemporary new York City and suburbs, which reinstates Stevenson’s lack of definition and limitation, leaving the relationship between Jekyll and Hyde unexplained, psychically connecting Jekyll, Hyde and Utterson, and describing the crimes that Hyde urges Jekyll to commit as merely “violence” ’ (Miller 55).
‘ “Doctor Jekyll,” a brilliant retelling of the Robert Louis Stevenson novella, is set mostly in contemporary New York and the Hamptons. Sontag loved Stevenson and does radical justice to his story by casting Jekyll and Hyde as separate individuals, the better to identify them, later on, as aspects of the same person. We first encounter them together in Manhattan. Hyde has arranged a meeting at the North Tower of the World Trade Center on a windswept Sunday in July. He chooses the WTC because it is “out of everyone’s way.” In this weekend wilderness, the two cross only for a few seconds: Hyde is unaccountably anxious and doesn’t want to talk. Jekyll wanders into a deserted cafe across the street and watches with interest as his breathless double keeps rounding the corner every few minutes like a hamster in a cage.
Strictly speaking, this vivid, sinister series of images has nothing to do with Sontag’s writings on 9/11. Even so, as you go back over her work you’re startled by the curious afterlife it has acquired. Thirty years on, it’s as if her Jekyll and Hyde had colonized a small patch of debris at the edge of Ground Zero and looked on impartially as the dust thickened and drifted across the world. Sontag liked the Jekyll and Hyde story because she understood the dangerous liaison between vice and virtue.’

Tennant ‘makes her protagonist a very human Hyde, a victim herself whose deed is an act of self-defence… an act of freeing herself from oppressive circumstances and threats which surround her as they do all women’. Responsibility is shifted ‘to society at large and to its male members in particular.’ The complex narrative pattern is ‘a modern equivalent of Stevenson’s technique’ (Ganner: 196-7)]

[Young teenager thriller/dark fantasy novel, the Stevenson story transposed into contemporary Britain with the principle character replaced by a female character.
“When 11-year-old Jacqueline discovers a curious bottle of liquid in her granny's attic, she develops a dual personality. It's fun at first. Exciting. But then Jacqueline Bad gets into serious trouble, and although she keeps trying to be her old self, the bad side just won't let go.”
This will be frightening especially to adult readers trying to understand the thoughts and behaviour of antisocial brats; it might also appeal those interested in ‘Estuary English’, as it is a first-person monologue by JH herself (vaguely corresponding to Ch 10 of Stevenson’s novella). The protagonist has three nightmares: a dream of the trampling incident (“I knock her over and start trampling her”, Ch 7); a version of the Carew murder (Ch 16); and a nightmare of being somewhere inside and searching in a cabinet for a bottle while people outside try to break in (Ch 26). Then she reads Stevenson’s story (Ch 41; “this doctor’s a really good guy. Everybody respects him, you know? He’s like a pillar of society, right?”). Later (Ch 47) there’s the suggestion that her grandmother’s house had belonged to a doctor on which Stevenson may have based his story.
‘It seems to be a didactic story, a warning against glue-sniffing and drug-taking. At the same time it is a gripping first-person account of a juvenile psychiatric patient. Finally, Swindells adds to all this the girl’s literary speculations, which are actually a mini-introduction to what fiction is all about.. What is noteworthy about [the novel], however, is the fact that the figure of this young girl Hyde is also a complex creation and pushed beyond the simple moral judgment of good and bad’ (Ganner: 198)]

[a free reworking of the story as a ‘graphic novel’ (starting with the trampling episode, it then moves to ‘the last night’ and then basically Jekyll’s ‘full statement’), with additional acts of sadism – but all very stylised and suggested rather than shown. The colours and tones have an almost musical sequencing about them. One interesting sequence on p. 10-11 is where Utterson, seated and talking with Poole, becomes Jekyll and begins the main ‘full statement’. The (originally Italian) text makes much use of Stevenson’s words, together with additional words and episodes, which however are all interesting re-elaborations and interpretations. There are female characters, but no fiancée and postponed marriage (as in Sullivan and various film versions); Jekyll is a rather ill-looking man of late middle age (often associated with a pale green colour).]

Answer 3

You don't have to be friends with your ex.......... its nice when it works out that way, but its not needed to be an effective co-parenting team. Sadly, your ex is not a man as I would define a man..... he is a boy who feels that he has to build up his mistress by knocking you down. I am sure that she encourages it to make herself feel better and.......... in a few weeks or months, when she leaves him for her next victim........ she will be happy cuz the rift that she's opened between you and your ex will be a big one. Wish there were some grow up pills you could give your ex. Wish he has that part of his brain that says that there's no reason for him to bad mouth you. This is not the case, however. Time is a great healer, but there's an expression that I heard once that might be of interest to you: Time heals all wounds and wounds all heels......... Karma won't be pretty when it comes around on the mistress... or your ex..... but meanwhile you have to rise above the fray. Focus on your kid...... give her the best of you in a difficult situation and things will even out. Probably very soon. Good luck to you
