A patient is suffering from a condition known as multiple personality disorder, struggles to find his name amidst competing personalities in his mind. If he can not discover his name, he may be lost forever. It is a peculiar sensation, this double-consciousness, this sense of always looking at one's self through the eyes of others, of measuring one's soul by the tape of a world that looks on in amused contempt and pity. One ever feels his two-ness, an American, a Negro; two souls, two thoughts, two unreconciled strivings; two warring ideals in one dark body, whose dogged strength alone keeps it from being torn asunder. W.E.B. Dubois.
