The Vampire Diaries is an 8 season TV show on Netflix that is all about supernatural creatures. The main character Stefan Salvatore is multiple supernatural creatures including vampire and doppelganger. The whole show has a backstory with many doppelgangers, but unlike Elena Gilbert who found out she was a doppelganger fairly early on in the show, Stefan did not. Doppelgängers in this show originated from Silas, Stefan Salvatore’s originating doppelganger, and Amara, Elena Gilbert’s originating doppelganger, wanting to be immortal and be in love with each other. Silas was a very powerful witch in the early stages of his life but once he took the immortality spell it went away. Silas used to be a kind person, that would help everyone in his village and loved a girl deeply, but after being immortal for so long he became evil and heartless, very unlike Stefan. When they took the spell, nature had to balance everything out by producing doubles of them. Then multiple versions of Silas and Amara were created throughout the next centuries. Stefan Salvatore was the second most recent from what we know from the show. When Silas found Stefan, he tried to kill him because doppelgangers are fated to hate each other. The uncanniness from this situation is really shown when Silas locked Stefan in a coffin for 3 months, and since Stefan is a vampire, he was immortal and just drowned repeatedly for 3 months. Silas then took over Stefan’s life and hurt the people he loved until they eventually found Stefan and killed Silas with the cure to immortality.
