While reading Galen Strawson’s “I am not a Story”, I feel that I agree with his thoughts that we can possess multiple selves. I liked the idea that one self takes control while the others sit and wait for their turn. This reminded of the Marvel character the Incredible Hulk and how Bruce Banner and the Hulk are both separate entities occupying the same space. Jekyll and Hyde is another example of having multiple selves. Besides fiction references, I feel that having multiple selves can allow us to reach our maximum potential. At first I agreed with the ideas that narratives are the main thing that define our lives, but after reading Strawson’s work, I realized that this might not be true. I think that the idea of multiple selves denies the common idea of what narration can do for one’s life story, as it allows for you to think about how we split our lives up into separate parts and how this story does not need to be told by narratives.
