Bergson'a göre "hakikat" zamanın akışı içinde değişikliğe uğrar; Freud'a göre gerçek ile kurgulanmış/hayali olanın birlikteliği "tekinsiz" olanı yaratır; Derrida'ya göre yaşananların kendisinin mi yoksa "hayalet" haline gelmiş anısının mı hatırlandığı bilinemez. Gölgeler oyununda neyin "gölge", neyin "gölgesi düşen" olduğu asla ortaya çıkmaz.
