DESCRIPTION: An alter ego is a secret self distinct from a person’s true personality. A choice of exactly two possible virtues: humble or prideful; chaste or impure; saint or sinner.
Which is the true self? The one shown to the world or the one hidden from view? Is this alternative self a façade or the reality?
