All Hoff- mann really cared for was the fantastically gruesome effect, just as all Brentano cared for was the fantastically comical one. Der Doppelganger possesses no artistic merit. There is wittier and more audacious invention in the tale, The Latest Adventures of the Dog Berganza. In the first place, we are left uncertain whether the dog is a metamor- phosed human being or not ; he himself says : " It is possible that I am really Montiel, who was punished by being com- pelled to assume the s...hape of a dog ; if so, the punishment has been a source of pleasure and amusement. " In the second place, even the dog, as dog, sees himself duplicated, and is conscious of the dissolution of the unity of his being. " Sometimes I actually saw myself lying in front of myself like another Berganza, another which yet was myself ; and I, Berganza, saw another Berganza maltreated by the witches, and growled and barked at him. " Still greater is the audacity, still more extravagant the whimsicality in the tale of The Golden Jar.
