Standard Double
2002
The re-used plot motif of the surprise appearance of a character’s twin threatens ‘the one we know,’ the original, and the nature of selfhood. Profound, universal psychological questions are fair game and an effective lure in popular culture as seen in the television sitcom. Collected together, these examples offer us a moment of perspective that loosens the grip of persona and exposes the blind spot in the question, “Who am I?”.
