The manner to wrap my tiny head around this is using the "Author of novel" metaphor.
The author of a novel is everyone (and everything) that exist in his/her novel.
Taking the example of JRR Tolkien who authored Lord Of The Rings series..
Once "Frodo" realized that he is actually "Tolkien playing the role of Frodo" he will also realized that he is actually also Sauron, Gandalf, Legolas, Boromir basically everyone and everything inside the Lord Of The Rings universe.
And he understand why his 'enemy', Sauron, must exist, as Sauron is also Frodo as both Sauron and Frodo is actually Tolkien.
Through this lenses thus Shakespeare who spent his lifetime writing fiction story and characters also said:
"All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts".
