Document Summary
How setting changes the perception of the self. How the dream self effects the actual self (double). However it can be dangerous and you can lose yourself. But in the end we learn from them. Lying about who you are will allow you to have new experiences, but you will lose yourself in the process. Refusing to acknowledge who you really are will present new scenarios however in the process you will lose yourself. Living out life through the double will present new experiences but one will lose themselves in the process. First emerged in the mid 18th century. Prose romance predates the novel: took as its subject matter the chivalric code, romance characters are highly idealized, flat, generic types, romance plots turn around supernatural events, romances were loosely organized. Novels are about the inner complexity of the characters rather than the action. Novels were more tightly plotted, a strong forward movement. Being under the bell jar is suffocating.
