Double Double This This, Double Double That That....




The world is filled with doppelgangers & doubles. The Hollywood atmosphere portrays the exact replica of a girl with the only characteristic to differentiate is that one is human, and the other is a blood-sucking vampire. Vampire Diaries is one of the many glamourous showcases of this phenomenon, also including The Amazing Spider-Man 2, How I Met Your Mother, and Hitchcock's thriller Vertigo. Often times the characters find their "twin stranger" who parallels them, usually adding conflict into the plot. Or the characters find a double self of themselves, through their personal journey of self discovery. However, doppelgangers & double aren't just isolated to fictional stories, they can be found in the real world. There have been several accounts where people have found their twin, not related by blood, but related by looks. The freaky incidents have became so popular, you can check out if you also have a double on the websites, https://twinstrangers.com or https://findmydoppelganger.net . These unexplained copy versions of people have created have sparked curiosity in the world out there.
So what is the exact definition of these two reoccurring words? Happy to inform! A doppelganger is a non-biologically related look-alike or double of a living person. They are commonly portrayed as a ghostly or paranormal phenomenon and usually seen as a harbinger of bad luck. A double is a lot harder to explain, since it has no exact definition. Doubles can be seen with two characters, the same person, and/or objects that represents a person or meaning. Symbolically, doppelgangers & doubles could represent infinite things such as human nature, society, and personal behaviors/fears.
