** The Doppelganger **

What is a Doppelganger?

Doppelganger Definition: a character who is the double or twin of another character, represents the alter-ego of a character, or hides a secret identity.

Examples of Doppelgangers in Literature

The most obvious example of a doppelgänger in literature is Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in the novella The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson. Dr. Henry Jekyll is a man conflicted with his inner, darker self, and decides through a series of experiments to let that side run free in the form of Edward Hyde, a sinister creature who is barely a man, and fully evil. Eventually, Hyde becomes so strong that Dr. Jekyll is unable to control his transitions, so he poisons himself to prevent Hyde from committing any more murders in the city.
