Abstract

This research paper is devoted to one of the many possible interpretations of the text with the application of psychoanalytical hermeneutics on the example of the novel ‘The Island of Dr Moreau’ by H.G. Wells. The aim of the study is to discover the true meaning of the text and to apply the modified ideas of Freud and philosophical hermeneutics to the novel in a practical way. This paper uses the methods of literary, hermeneutic, comparative and psychoanalytical analyses. The results of the study can be used for methodological purposes in educational institutions and for individual familiarisation.
