So that he will not have to suffer pain.
Johannes:
The shadow-being in me I have stunned
But not o’erthrown: wherefore he must remain
A shade enchanted amongst the other shades
Till I can re-unite myself with him.
The Double:
Then give to me that which thou owest him:
The power of love, that drives thee forth to him,
The heart’s hope, that was first begot by him,
