"The Double" by Fyodor Dostoyevsky follows the life of the timid government clerk Golyadkin, who encounters his exact doppelgänger, a confident and audacious version of himself. As the double infiltrates Golyadkin's life, paranoia and identity crisis ensue. The novella delves into themes of alienation, psychological turmoil, and the duality of human nature. Dostoyevsky's exploration of the blurred lines between reality and imagination creates a haunting narrative that exposes the fragility of the human psyche.
