Doppelganger

= Doppelganger = An apparition or double of a living person. Considered an ill omen to see one, It may be a figment of the imagination or a mirror-image hallucination, and is often speculated to be a premonition of death or bad luck. Other theories are that the devil has disguised himself as this person after killing them, or an evil twin. or is someone with the same name. Originates from the German words // Doppel // (double) and // Gänger // (walker) -BT

(are you sure this is a literary device???) KH A Doppelganger is a double of another character, especially if it haunts its counterpart. A doppelganger, in german, means "double walker". It's a carbon copy of a character with a different soul. However, one of the criteria for a doppelganger isn't that it looks like its counterpart. For example, Frankenstein and his monster are considered to be doppelgangers. (KR)
