Alter - ego

An alter-ego (Latin, "the other I") is a second self, a second personality or persona within a person, who is often oblivious to the persona's actions. It was coined in the early nineteenth century when dissociative identity disorder was first described by psychologists.A person with an alter-ego is said to lead a double life.
A distinct meaning for alter-ego can be found in
literary analysis, wherein it describes characters in different works who are psychologically similar, or a fictional character whose behavior, speech or thoughts intentionally represent those of the author. Similarly, alter-ego can be applied to the role or persona taken on by an actor or by other types of performers.
Alter-ego is also used to refer to the different behaviors any person may display in various situations. Related concepts include avatar, doppelgänger, impersonator, and split personality.


Fascinaţie totală din partea mea, dacă mă întrebaţi pe mine. Dar mai bine nu mă întrebaţi.
Aaa, era să uit de Jekyll şi Hyde.

The title characters in Robert Louis Stevenson's thriller Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde represent an exploration of the concept that good and evil exist within one person, constantly at war. Edward Hyde literally represents the doctor's other self, a psychopath who is unrestrained by the conventions of civilized society, and who shares a body with the doctor. The names "Jekyll and Hyde" have since become synonymous with a split personality or an alter-ego that becomes capable of overpowering the original self.

P.S. : ( dacă noi tot speak english) This was a senseless post, but I’m tired and I have no other idea. Hope that you’re not already bored. I’ll be back soon with a genius post. I promise. And if it won’t be genius, just put a gun against my head and pull the trigger.
