" My sword is yours. My life is yours. My love is yours. My blood, my body, my songs, you own them all. I live and die at your command, fair queen. " George R. R. Martin, A Storm of Swords

Otto Rank's notion of the doppelganger, or 'double' in his 1914 book Der Doppelgänger is the template for all subsequent doppelganger studies stating that, "all instincts and desires that don't fit the 'ideal' image are rejected and cast out of the self, repressed internally, and inevitably return externally personified in the double, where they can be at once vicariously satisfied and punished." It was a concept that would be revisited again and again throughout the history of horror fiction.
