Simon's ghostlike anonymity continues to be prevalent in the story and its plot. Although Simon asserts that he's worked for the company for seven years, he is suspected to be trespassing and gets escorted out of the building, given that nobody recognizes him. He peeps through a hole in a door and sees Hannah waiting by herself. As Simon shows up to the Colonel's mandatory ball that all employees must attend, his employee ID card won't work (a repeated occurrence that is shown throughout the film) and that means he can't enter. A cheery song plays while a montage unfolds of Simon dancing and buying a pair of vintage earrings for Hannah. Things start to feel more promising for Simon in regards to his chances with Hannah - as if he's gotten a new lease on life. She says, "A person can get really sick of just floating by." Their loneliness is bounded by the fact that they can't relate to anybody around them. It deals with the internal psychological struggle of its main character, Yakov Petrovich Golyadkin, who repeatedly encounters someone who is his exact double in appearance but confident, aggressive, and extroverted, characteristics that are the polar opposites to those of the. She wonders if maybe there was a connection between her outburst at him and his subsequent death. The Double is a classic work of Russian fiction by Fyodor Dostoyevsky that centers on a government clerk who goes mad. At a local diner, Simon and Hannah start talking about the man who jumped (who sounds a bit too much like Simon), with Hannah revealing that the man had been stalking her and she even confronted him about it.
