Tweedledum and Tweedledee from Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland”

Paradise and Paranoia

“Tweedledum and Tweedledee agreed to have a battle. For Tweedledum said Tweedledee has spoiled his nice new rattle.”

Like Lewis Carroll’s crazy twins, two complementary quirks haunt human nature. They are connected in a weird symbiosis, “agreeing to have a battle”. One quirk is the pursuit of paradise. The second is the panic of paranoia.
