I use the word double here intentionally, to echo W. E. B. Du Bois's metaphor for the Afro-American's peculiar psychology of citizenship and also to avoid the limited description of free indirect discourse as a "dual voice," in Roy Pascal's term. Rather than a dual voice, free indirect discourse, as manifested in Their Eyes Were Watching God, is a dramatic way of expressing a divided self.
