Synopsis
This story is about a man who met his doppelganger; a ghostly double of a living person.
John Taylor was an
English computer programmer who worked in Budapest,Hungary, and lived
there with his wife, Andrea, and daughter,Kati.He was walking home from
work one day when he bumped into his doppelganger.John believed the
doppelganger had come to give him a message.
John did some research
and found that a man, with a name similar to his, had lived in that
area many years ago along with a wife and daughter – whose names were
also Andrea and Kati.The person's wife and daughter were killed in a
tragedy.The timely warning from John's doppelganger saved John's wife
and daughter from a similar fate.
Climax:-
A similar incident
that had happened to the doppelganger and his family years ago occurred
exactly on the same date. When John heard a very loud noise that sounded
like an explosion, he realised that Andrea and Kati were at the same
cafe where his doppelganger's wife and daughter were killed.He rushed
over and saw that the place had been destroyed again.
Themes
Determination:-
When John first met
his doppelganger, he was very afraid . He did not know whether what he
had seen was real or he was imagining things.However,when John became
convinced of the doppelganger's existence, he became determined and
persevered to solve the mysteries of the doppelganger.
Even
though Andrea did not support John and thought he needed to see a
doctor, John did not give up. He knew his doppelganger had appeared for a
reason and was trying to tell him something. He was focused and
determined to do all he could to find out what the message was about.
Fear of the unknown :-
From the moment John
first saw the doppelganger, his life changes and he lived in fear.He was
afraid because he could not understand what was happening to him and
his thoughts were constantly on the doppelganger.At work,his performance
suffered as he forgot important things that he should have remembered.
Furthermore, his fear took a turn for the worse when he started having
nightmares about the doppelganger. He began to feel terrified and so did
Andrea. This fear of the unknown caused a strain in their relationship
and their marriage suffered.
Being open-minded
John was open-minded.
This encouraged him to search and gather information from various
sources to solve the mystery of his ghostly encounter with someone who
looked like him.It was this attitude that forms the basis of the
story.When John first met his doppelganger, he did not feel that it was
just an illusion.His willingness to accept new ideas and information
provided him with the knowledge that doppelgangers do exist and that
they appear to forewarn people of danger.
Moral values
Persistance:-
We should always be
persistent in our endeavours and not give up whenever we face obtacles.
It is only with persistence that we can achieve what we want.
John was an extremely
persistent person.No matter what obtacles stood in his way or what
difficulties he faced in his marriage , he never gave up trying to find
out more about his doppelganger. He did a lot of research and questioned
several people to get the information he needed. In the end, his
persistence paid off and he found out a lot about his doppelganger.
Family support and trust :-
It is very important that members in a family support and trust one another, especially in times of trouble.
If Andrea had
supported and trusted John wholeheartedly, she would have co-operated
with John and this might have prevented Andrea and Kati from getting
into danger.
Thinking outside the box:-
A person must be able
and willing to think beyond their usual ways and look at things from
different perspectives.This would enable them to find answers or
solutions.
John took every
opportunity to question and find out why the doppelganger
appeared.Finally, he managed to solve the mystery because he was willing
to think outside the box.
