#and the fundamental difference between the doppelgangers is that katherine is willing to kill to live #even if it means killing herself #whereas elena is willing to die in order to preserve herself as she is#they’re both avenues of survival #elena learns to give because she has been given to her whole life #and katherine takes because she has had everything taken from her #flawless doppelganger narratives
