Abstract

Like two sides of the same coin, Betty is what Diane wants to be, and Rita is what Diane wants to have. Betty may be Diane's ideal ego, but Rita also signifies Diane's desire while she contends with rejections in her real life by Camilla Rhodes as well as by the film industry.

It is this reductive process of removing Camilla's identity that forms the basis of "Rita" in Diane's unconscious, because Rita - Camilla's doppelgänger in Diane's dream - does not have an identity.
