The paper is devoted mainly to textual signals foreshadowing the final (and dubious) solution of the Jekyll-and-Hyde puzzle. The motif of duality will be discussed, as underlying mainly the way the characters of the novella are juxtaposed, thus suggesting a similar relation between the two eponymous protagonists. On the other hand, the space organization foregrounds inclusion rather than simple opposition (which is in concord with the explanations provided by Jekyll in his confession). These seemingly incompatible relations (inclusion and/or opposition) find their equivalent in Jekyll’s narration — especially in the use of personal pronouns by the narrator, illustrating the process of Hyde’s gaining independence together with the gradual disintegration of Jekyll’s self.

Even if the Gothic romance may be considered as one of the predecessors of detective fiction, the world model proposed by the latter seems to exclude what was the essence of the former: the irrational underlying the proposed world model. However, some of detective novel writers deploy Gothic conventions in their texts, thus questioning the rational order of the reality presented there. Such a genological syncretism is typical - among others - of the novels by John Dickson Carr. The paper is an analysis of Gothic conventions and their functions in four earliest novels by Carr, featuring a French detective-protagonist, Henri Bencolin. It concentrates on elements of Gothic horror, on the atmosphere of terror as well as the motif of the past intruding the present.
