Added DiffLines:

* DoppelgangerReplacementLoveInterest: Many writers about Possession have paid attention to the motif of doppelgänger throughout the film. Both spouses die, but they are replaced by doubles, ideal models of husband and wife. Anna "grows" a double of Mark from the creature, an indefatigable lover who is always by her side. The real Mark finds a copy of Anna in the person of the school teacher Helen - she is a gentle character, and does not demand anything from Mark, being an "ideal housewife".


Added DiffLines:

* ReplacementGoldfish: Anna considers her [[spoiler: eventually fully-formed demonic creature]] lover to being a superior replacement to her husband Mark as he satisfies her unmet sexual needs and Mark finds a replacement for his wife Anna in his son's teacher Helen who is kind to him and fulfills his need for an obedient housewife.

Added DiffLines:

* DerangedDance: Anna's body movements during her nervous breakdown in the subway almost resemble an odd dance, thrashing her limbs and body around while screaming.
* DanceOfDespair: Anna loses control of her body and limbs and she just moves around in violent thrashing fits as the demonic possession takes over her.


Added DiffLines:

* MarionetteMotion: Anna moves her limbs and body around in a stiff puppet like manner when she gets demonically possessed. When she narrowly avoids getting hit by truck out on the streets and when she has her nervous breakdown and subsequent miscarriage in the subway.
