Abstract: The study investigates the gothic double of Sitora Harimau Jadian (1965) by P. Ramlee through the observation of the characteristics of Dr Effendi and the weretiger, Sitora. Double or doubling is a Gothic motif that is prevalent in Gothic literature, both classic and contemporary, which explores the nuances of the dark psyche one inhibits. It also problematises or brings forth thematic issues of alienation, transgression and the like. Based on the analysis, the researchers gathered that the transformation of Dr Effendi as Weretiger Cub / Son of Sitora depicts the anxiety of his character in mediating the setting of rural and urbanisation, while being principally challenged in combating Malay superstition and taboo that still takes root in a modern society.
