Me Tarzan, you Jane” implies that Tarzan and Jane are not one and the same.
Instead, they are two different people who lead very different lives. Tarzan,
the Ape Man, is by nature different than his newfound lady friend.
Existentialists would further this train of thought to say that since people are
always different, they can never be the same. They would then argue that every
person is an individual, not a copy from a predetermined mold. Jean-Paul Sartre
