Write about a protagonist who is forced to face the fact that the villain they’ve been battling is a part of themselves.

Duality is a common theme in many stories–the struggle between good and evil, light and dark, within the self. What happens when the greatest adversary you have to engage in is your own self? How does the protagonist contend with these two opposing facets of their identity? This prompt provokes the exploration of psychological conflicts, internal struggle, and the theme of self-redemption.
