The Manifestation of Doppelganger in Anne Sexton's Selected Poetry
View through CrossRef
This paper tries to shed light on the doppelgänger concept and its manifestation beside its employment in the English poetry. The selected poems in this study, which reveal this issue, are: "The Other", "Menstruation at Forty", "Said the Poet to the Analyst", “The Double Image”, "Sylvia's Death" and "Wanting to Die". These poems concentrate on various feminist topics such as, identity, gender, despair, sickness, loss of loved ones and the desire of death as a kind of disappointment. This paper aims at finding the similar other side of the poetess either in the real life or at her poetical works. The study discusses the doppelganger or the other character that either is similar or dissimilar in specific or full characterization. The study concludes that the poet presents the doppelganger as an imitator who commits suicide to end the inner conflict.
