Trei cazuri de reprezentare a dedublării la Chamisso, Dostoievski și Saramago
Three Instances of Duplication in Chamisso, Dostoevsky and Saramago’s Works

Summary/Abstract: The literary convention of the double is rooted in the theories of the German philosophy. The concept of the double has been analyzed from different perspectives, such as psychological, religious, sociological or mythological perspective. This paradoxical figure appears as an instrument of both liberation and oppression. This article analyses the literary image of the double and discusses the symbolism of the main characters and scenes, who fell under the auspices of duality, focusing on the works of Adelbert von Chamisso, Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky and Jose Saramago. The purpose of this paper is twofold: firstly, to draw up a comparison between the three works, which belong to different literary movements and secondly, to find the common elements and characteristics of the analyzed works.
