Do you believe in the doppelganger myth?

The idea is basically that there is an exact (appearance wise) duplicate of everyone out there.





I can't say I've seen anyone who really looks all that much like me, but I swear I've seen a person and then months or years later see someone who may not look like their exact double but looks awfully similar, almost creepily so.





Anyway, what do you think?|||I remember seeing my father's doppelganger when I was a kid. A friend of the family had been to the Oktoberfest, and one of the performers there was the spitting image of my father. Even down to wearing a gold pinkie ring on the same finger. They brought back photographic evidence of my father's doppelganger (which he had framed and used to sit on his desk - just to freak people out).





As for my doppelganger (if the poor creature exists), I pity her.|||I don't know that I believe in it, but I like the older folklore about the doppelganger. That is, that it is the wraith or apparition of a person, whose appearance is often said to presage their death, and not an actual living twin.|||welllll





actually i do


everyone/thing has to have a counterpart right?


otherwise how else could we exist?


good and evil makes the world turn


just think, all the serial killers and convicts and rapists of all sorts have counterparts..


so in a different reality were the bad ones and theyre the good ones.


freaky right? :P|||Yes I met two people at the train station who said I LOOKED IDENTICAL to their cousin, they were shocked...They were walking past me and they stared at me and stopped, I knew they were talking about me..Their eyes showed their expression, then they came over to me and told me that it is scary how much I look like their cousin. They thought I was him...IDK I believe we all have a twin out there|||Well, I don't know about someone looking EXACTLY the same (unless they are twins or something), but I know this one kid named Josh and another kid named Jack and they look the same, and it's creepy. So yeah, I sorta believe it.|||Yeah, except their not called doppelgangers their called wannabes.|||Considering I've been told by tons of people that I look (creepily) like Ryan Gosling, yes, I can believe it.|||Only with regards to the lezzy, evil version of Willow from Buffy.








Mmmmm...evil Willow... : P

Doppelganger Theme in The Sign Of Four- Sir Arthur Conan Doyle?

I am taking a Doppelganger and Doubles class and in this class I have to write a paper that relates to the doppelganger theme in this story. However after reading this story twice and doing some research, I still could not find the doppelganger theme in this story. Any theories, suggestions or pointing in the right direction would be appreciated.|||It's been so long since I read the story %26amp; have forgotten names of characters, etc.


However, the theme may be underscoring many characters in this story, not least Holmes himself [altho' in reverse order ;-) ] - how his drug-taking makes him more human %26amp; humane !





The main culprit or perpetrator of the present crime(s) is probably the Doppelganger here. How he has changed from the genial, brave, law-abiding, upright soldier of the East India Company to the present decrepit, unrecognizable, vengeful, almost evil person. How betrayal could lead to such a change of character %26amp; personality - both physical %26amp; mental.





That is all I remember for now.


I'll look up the story again tomorrow %26amp; come back with more details.


Hope this helps for now.


All the very best :-)

Could the use of doppelganger be a good thing?

I know that in literature, it is mostly represent as evil. But, if I was to use it as a self-reflection in my personal essay, would it work?|||It's true that in literature and folklore a doppelganger usually represents evil. In contemporary usage, however, a doppelganger is a "look-alike."





If you planned to use it in your essay to say you physically looked like someone, like a celebrity or other famous person, then I'd say "go ahead".





Any other usage, to me, carries a supernatural or dark connotation.

Why do idiots like to do the Doppelganger Celebrity thing for Facebook?

Don't they have a damn life I don't think they do but instead they are N00bs and idiots they should look at themselves every once in a while in the mirror|||Borat|||you answered you own question %26gt;people that use facebook all the time have no life

What does it mean when you see a doppelganger?

Is it good or bad?|||A doppelganger refers to the ghost of a person who is still living. It basically references a person’s physical double. Others think of a doppelganger as that of some type of an “evil twin” or a malevolent other.





The word doppelganger originates from the German word Doppelgaenger. This word literally means “double-goer.”





According to people, doppelgangers come in different types. The reason for this is that the term itself is now being used loosely and now refers to anyone kind of double. A doppelganger may appear either as a ghost or as a real physical person. The “evil twin” concept of the doppelganger refers to a double that the original person doesn’t know about but who sows mischief among friends and relatives by confusing them. A doppelganger can also refer to a person who is seen in two places at once, though this ability or phenomena is often called “bilocation.” Based on experiments conducted by scientists at the University Hospital in Geneva, Switzerland, electrical stimulation to the brain – the same one used for treating epilepsy – can produce a feeling of a doppelganger in the test subject.





According to myths and folklore, a doppelganger is unable to cast a shadow or reflection – just like a vampire. These apparitions are considered malevolent and a bad sign. It can even haunt the original person himself. Some are said to give bad advice to the original’s friends and relatives. There is also a belief that a person who sees his doppelganger is extremely bad luck and is meant to foretell the person’s death or serious illness.|||I thought doppelganger was like a carbon copy of yourself? If you saw some one who looked exactly like you, I'd say you need to speak to your folks and make sure you don't have a twin they neglected to mention...|||In the whole superstition/myth way...Death...it's been said that when you see a doppelganger, You'll die soon....Abaraham Lincoln was said to have seen his doppleganger before dieing, and the same with a few other known people.|||In mythology it means you are going to die soon.|||Nothing serious. A doppelganger is a mischievous spirit. Usually a spirit of a child. It will do little tricks on you. Nothing serious and nothing harmfull. Have fun with it.

I need a good a definition of Doppelganger?

I am really into the paranormal and i am doing a little research and having a hard time finding a definition that isn't too long but is still a good definition.|||a doppelganger is thought to be someone who looks exactly like you but is not you. Usually portrayed that one is evil while the other one is good.|||dop路pel路g盲ng路er or dop路pel路gang路er (dpl-gngr, -gng-)


n.


A ghostly double of a living person, especially one that haunts its fleshly counterpart.


[German, a double : doppel, double (from French double; see double) + G盲nger, goer (from Gang, a going, from Middle High German ganc, from Old High German).]|||How about: a ghostly counterpart of a living person. The idea of this is fascinating isn't it?|||One who is copying another person in all aspects. Like a clone of the other person.|||i think its an exact opposite or double of someone

Do you believe that everybody has a doppelganger somewhere?

i read somewhere that every person is supposed to have at least 1 look-a-like in the world, and i'm inclined to believe! i quite like the thought, i'd like to meet mine! lol


how about you? do you believe everybody has someone somewhere that looks just like them?|||Yes I totally believe everyone had someone who looks exactly like them somewhere in the world, however not many people actually get the oppurtunity to find and meet them.


I myself have. I was shocked to meet someone at college who looked EXACTLY like me, I mean we could almost be twins, everyone thought we were related. But then I got an even bigger shock when I found out they had an identical twin, which means I actually have 2, the lucky person I am :)


We were very good friends in college and are still very good friends now, I am very happy to say I have met mine :)|||Oh yes and i met them too . was when i was a child 30 odd years ago , same brownie pack , i often think of them and how they are doing strange or what .|||I think cause there's 6 billion(give or take) people in the world,


we all can't have original faces.|||i found mine in a magazine and i have seen many face-twins of people i know. i believe it|||yes, we're right here together now!!

Do all superheroes have an evil doppelganger?

It sure seems like it- Superman has Bizarro and Ultraman and Batman has Owlman, Wrath and Bat-zarro, for example. I think an evil doppelganger is a good stand-by if you are looking for an arch-nemesis for your hero and have trouble coming up with something more original- would you agree?|||It's an old plot device, but not as common as some people might think.





The problem is that the whole "evil twin" business really only works if your original hero is a complete goody-two-shoes on some level. Not everyone's evil twin ends up being completely scary or all that compelling--one of the big moments in the Star Trek "Dark Mirror" episode (original series) happens when you find out that Dark Mirror Spock isn't all that different from his "good" counterpart--logic is logic after all. Likewise, more recently in _Blackest Night_, you have twisted, "evil" versions of lots of dead characters. Evil Zombie Martian Manhunter works--ditto with Evil Zombie Aquaman.





But Blue Beetle? Not so much. The closer the character is to morally gray on one side, the closer he will be to the middle on the other. Usually. There are exceptions, but they generally tend to involve characters who have either been seriously tweaked in the head (read: relentlessly brainwashed) and/or characters who have gone through a traumatic, horrifying experience.





And honestly? It takes some work to pull that off. An author would have to do some writing from a character-driven viewpoint and do it for a _while_ to seriously pull it off. It's not the sort of thing you can neatly stuff into some company-mandated "event" that fits in six neat issues so you can have One More Collected Tradebook to Sell (tm). It requires character work and maybe even subplots--not that anyone writing comic books lately has one clue what I'm babbling about, do they?





Sorry about the tangent though, point is: Usually it takes a seriously, almost obnoxiously "good" character to actually make their "dark mirror/evil twin" counterpart compelling as character. Or....even to make the thing readable as joke character (as per Bizarro/Batzarro). Characters who are more realistic morally generally don't do as well with this treatment.|||Red Hood is currently Jason Todd (former Robin, Boy Hostage, returned from the dead) and is a nemesis, not a doppelganger.





Not all superheroes have them and they are a bit of a contrived device. I feel that they are used more in DC than in Marvel - however they aren't innocent as Marvel tend to go for the 'good guy suddenly turns bad' thing instead.





I don't think it is so much about having a convenient villain, it is more a way of seeing a mirror image of your hero - a 'what if?' scenario and then pits the two versions against each other in a (theoretically) even fight.|||well with doppelgangers in comic books it shows a fight between a hero and villian on even ground


but there are some others like flash and reverse flash and green lantern corps and the sinestro corps that have some really decent fights and some doppels had a unquie history like the red hood with batman|||I think it's an age old plot device...





not only do you have the Mirror image/through the glass darkly take on the hero but you have the 'fair fight' factor





also the doubles allow you to explore the Hero's choices and origins

How can you fight a doppelganger.?

Recently, people say that they see me hanging around a certain place, where in fact im somewhere else. This is really disturbing me and i want to know how am i going to kill or make "the" doppelganger stop.|||I bet a lot of your friend have cell phones.I'll also bet they have cameras built right into them.I can't think of one reason you haven't had them send you a picture. Well,actually I can but why point out the obvious.


You can fight a doppleganger using sage and mineral water.That's as good an answer as any.|||There are many ways to do this.


1) Learn Kung Fu and carry nun-chucks under your shirt tucked into the back of your pants like Bruce Lee.


2) Carry the following implements of murder, A revolver, a rope, a candlestick, a lead pipe, a wrench, and a knife. If the cops ask, just say the butler did it in the kitchen.


3) Don't be so disturbed by the fact that there is someone who kind of resembles you, then you won't have to fight.





Personally, I would go with number 3.|||First of all, a "Twin" can be astrological, as in someone being born around the same time you were, and live in the same area. They can look so much like you that some believe they are your twin! I do not believe in Killing anything at all, so I advise you to stop thinking this way, or see a psychiatrist. Just tell people that they are mistaken.





Sincerely, BJ|||you should consider that maybe you have somebody who really resembles you, me and my friends make comparisons to people we know all the time, some are eerily identical but it doesnt mean theyre a doppleganger. if you believe it is go look for it, supposedly if you see yours it means you might die or get really sick soon.|||mine eventually just stopped showin up.





idk. perhaps pray.|||Change your hairstyle. That way you will no longer resemble these other people.

What does it mean to see someone else's doppelganger?

Is it still considered a doppelganger if the person has a different hair colour?|||The collar and cuffs should match, that's all that is important.





No one has asked to see my doppelganger for a long time, tee hee!|||I think i'm the evil twin...i have no soul. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

But hair colour, size (my father's not exactly petite), everything was the same; even down to the fact that they both wear a "dress ring" on the same finger of the same hand.|||A doppelganger is the equivalent to an evil twin.

In literature, it's often used to represent an evil spirit, or the black side of someone, but in fact it just means a double.|||doppelganger - literally, a double who goes about. someone who could be a twin but is completely unrelated to the first person.

So if I am evil does that mean my doppelganger would have to be good. I am going to kill my doppel ganger even if I see it which is pretty stupid because I don't know how I would die|||German origin. Old myth was that a doppelganger was an exact duplicate of you and that when you saw one your death was near, for as the doppelganger grew stronger and absorbed your personality traits, it would replace. Generally, they were considered evil.|||As a strong believer in the paranormal i do not believe a doppelganger is paranormal. It is just another human that looks alike to you. I agree though, it would be quite strange if you were walking down the street and you see yourself.|||No, the doppelganger is always the evil one. Have you considered the possibility that you might be the doppelganger, and he is the real person?|||Depends on the culture. Most of the time exact doubles are supposed to be omens of death or otherwise bad luck (German Doppleganger, Irish fetch).

What's the meaning if you had a dream of a friend and his doppelganger at the same place?

The doppelganger sat beside me and looked at me. It's scary.|||ghost and spirits of the dead and even doppelgangers are demonic, as an fyi





However your dream indicates to me that there is a spirit attached to your friend, if you haven't sensed it by being near him yet you will. And by associates they can torment you.





What about your friend disturbs you, for some reason i keep picturing a blonde headed male, not sure whats that's about.





Its in some people nature to try to be a "savior" solve all their problems and set them back on their feet again, however there are some issues that go way beyond a persons grasp, for several different reasons, not everyone is able to stand and face a spirit.

Who can explain how the monster represent's Frankenstien's Doppelganger?

I understand the definition of a doppelganger but I am confused of how this applies to Victor and the creature. Can anyone answer this?





Thanks!|||I do not believe any such thing. Victor was raised in a very privileged home. He was nurtured and loved. He created the Creature then heartlessly turned his back on it -- denying it the love and nurturing that a newborn needs and deserves. There is no way I believe that the Creature was the evil one. Victor was. Everything that follows the creation of the Creature can be traced directly to Victor. The Creature, once he was in the woods with the family and able to see a loving family and how they acted, was gentle, compassionate and eager to learn. He was nothing like Victor. In the end, he wanted nothing more than a female to share his life with--away from people who would never accept him. Victor heartlessly denied that to him and once again set in motion actions only he can be blamed for.





The Creature and Victor are not dopplegangers -- they are mirror opposites. Pax-C|||The monster shows the evil side of Victor. The truth is, the monster is initally kind and just desires to be loved, where Victor craves knowledge and manipulates life.

Can you use a doppelganger to destroy a legendary creature?

In Magic: the Gathering, say I were to use a Vesuvian Doppelganger (a waste, all things considered, but bear with) to copy a legendary creature. Are they now both destroyed?|||What he said... the official rule for legends as of today:





420.5e If two or more legendary permanents with the same name are in play, all are put into their owners' graveyards. This is called the "legend rule." If only one of those permanents is legendary, this rule doesn't apply.|||Yes, that is my understanding of how it works.

What does it mean to dream about someone elses' doppelganger?

I've been having a dream since childhood about my uncle's doppelganger. He looks like my uncle and walks around and does things that my uncle normally does but he has a blank expression on his face and when I try to talk to him he looks at me but never says anything. Then my real uncle will drive up or show up somehow and talk to me and not see his doppelganger. What could it mean?|||I am wondering if you see some kind of polarity in your uncle. Sometimes, your uncle may be very warm and inviting, but sometimes he may seem more distant and aloof. I believe your dream is trying to make sense of the dichotomy.

Doppelganger?

I got a spam e-mail from someone using the same e-mail


address as mine,does anybody know how that can happen


and should i worry??|||You obviously have a free yahoo email address. Yahoo doesn't care about you enough to provide proper security.|||Sounds like you've been hacked. Are you sharing a computer with others? If so, click the sign out button when leaving the computer to prevent anyone else from getting into your account. Also, it might be a good idea to change your password too.|||Be sure it's exactly the same (check closely for periods or minute letter inconsistencies) and also be sure it's from the same mail host...i.e. yahoo.com OR msn.com





It would be next to impossible unless you sent an email to yourself (or someone else did) from your own email box.





Good luck with solving this mystery.
