It was often used in German folklore, and there is a belief that everyone has a doppelganger, an exact spiritual double. Even birds and beasts were thought to have a double. One may think it's interesting to meet their doppelganger. But it is the opposite. In actuality, meeting your doppelganger meant that your death was near. A doppelganger is similar to an evil twin but, a doppelganger is the spirit, while an evil twin is an actual person. During the Romantic Period, doppelgangers became more popular. They became the subject of many gothic novels. The idea of the doppelganger was very complex and difficult to understand. It is said that the Creature and Frankenstein are very closely related. The Creature is Victor's alter ego or, Doppelganger. The Creature is Victor's other half of his personality. They are complete opposites, but similar. When the Creature came to life, Victor abandoned him. Victor did n't teach him any life lessons or how to act. Therefore, the creature does not have any manners. He doesn't have any boundaries. The Creature's mind has no limitations. He does not know of rules and restiction. Victor, is the opposite, his mind developed with rules. By creating this Creature, Victor escaped. His creation can express madness and freedom, which Victor livs out through him. When Victor created the Creature, he made him in his own image, as God made man. So they have oe mind. But Victor did not give the Creature education or guidance for his mind to develop. After creating this "monster", Victor was unprepared. He had given no forethought to caring for his creation because he only cared about animating it. But if he had educated the Creature, he would have no freedom.Therefore, the Creature would not be Victor's doppelganger.**

 * While researching we found a referance to pop culture. In the Spiderman comics, Spiderman's arch- enemy is Doppelganger, who looks like Spiderman's evil twin. He has the same abilities as Spiderman, with some differances. He is faster and stronger than Spiderman, but has the intelligence of a child.**
