'The double in almost every case emerges as
more powerful or more vital or real than the
original self' Discuss the importance of the
double in Borges. Make reference to at least two
stories.
- Relationship between Lonnrot and
Red Scharlach in La Muerte y La
Brujúla.
- More Powerful and vital to the story as he spins the
mystery and in addition he ends up triumphant as he
ends up killing the ´original self´.
- The Borges Doubles in El Milagro
Secreto and El Sur, and to some
extent La forma de la Espada.
- Dahlmann in El Sur
- Borges in la forma de la espada
- Hladik in el milagro.
- Less important than Borges as Borges
wrote them into existence and therefore
less powerful, or vital to their story than
the author.
- The Doubles of the
Borges Doubles in el
milagro and el sur.
- Not as important as the originals as they are not real, and
have now power over their own exsitence, much like how
their original selves are the doubles of Borges.
- Hladik - Kuben - Roemerstadt.
- Bookish Dahlmann - Gaucho Dahlmann
