At first, Clarissa and Septimus seem like each other\u2019s opposite, but then I realized that the two characters share an interest in Shakespeare, are both described as having beak-noses, and both have a fear of pretty much being beat down by society.<\/p>\n<p>I think the biggest similarity, however, is their fear. Septimus fears the oppression of the world while Clarissa fears the oppression of society and her past. This is what drew my attention the most.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dh.sadiejoyful.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/tumblr_lz7wlfhOk21qchnh6o1_500.gif\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-39 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/dh.sadiejoyful.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/tumblr_lz7wlfhOk21qchnh6o1_500.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Readers don\u2019t pick up on the similarities between the two characters right off the bat. Septimus is portrayed as someone who is a bit insane while Clarissa is not. But as the book progressed and came to an end, it is easy to see that Septimus\u2019 thoughts were in sync and often time echoed the train of thought that Clarissa was having.<\/p>\n<p>They might not actually be twins like my brother, Trent, and I are, but it is certainly clear that Clarissa and Septimus are doppelg\u00e4ngers in spirit when it comes to the way they view their problems in this very small world.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dh.sadiejoyful.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/HTTP2ltYWdlczUuZmFucG9wLmNvbS9pbWFnZS9waG90b3MvMzEyMDAwMDAvS2VsZW5hLWthdGhlcmluZS1waWVyY2UtYW5kLWVsZW5hLWdpbGJlcnQtMzEyMDc4NTgtNTAwLTI1NS5naWYlog.gif\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-38 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/dh.sadiejoyful.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/HTTP2ltYWdlczUuZmFucG9wLmNvbS9pbWFnZS9waG90b3MvMzEyMDAwMDAvS2VsZW5hLWthdGhlcmluZS1waWVyY2UtYW5kLWVsZW5hLWdpbGJlcnQtMzEyMDc4NTgtNTAwLTI1NS5naWYlog.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"255\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Growing up with a twin can comes with both upsides and downsides.
