How does Poe portray the motif of the doppelganger, or character double, in his two tales “The Fall of the House of Usher” and “William Wilson”?
| ← Evaluation on the poem: “I love you” by Pushkin | Disgrace → |
Poe’s artwork has been viewed as very contemporary and can be said to influence today’s Goth culture. The Portable Edgar Allan Poe book contains the classics that made other artists be inspired, through his flawlessly written art. This is a compilation of the tales that clearly brought out terror, fantasy, revenge, mystery, and murder (Meyers, 1992 p.21). The character double is where things are view in image and likeness, the doubles having been expressed in form of; doppelganger, shadows, mandrakes, twins, mirror images, and alter ego.
The double effect however has a unique message which is the same. For example there is self separation and self destruction that has been used to show the double character in the in “The Fall of the House of Usher” and “William Wilson”. The double is also used to show that people can be deluded by looks, through emotional feelings. The alienation of the personal being form social behavior leads to loss of personal identity that can cause violence or psychological breakdown. The attempt of the author to murder his enemy brings out incidences of suicide since the competing foe is also part of his own conscience.
Hoseini, (2009 para.4) sites the doppelganger as “a ghostly counterpart of a living person”. It is German that is arrived at through Doppel meaning double and ganger meaning goer. In both the “The Fall of the House of Usher” and “William Wilson,” Poe inspects the doppelganger and gives different features in each of the story. In the “The Fall of the House of Usher,” he ushers in a possibility of a divide of the mind and body in the twins Roderick and Madeline.
The twins represent an external philosophical affiliation involving mind and body, though they are identified in each half of the representation. As the twins are inseparable so does Poe suggests happens to the mind and body. Poe in “William Wilson,” gets more concentrated in the internalized effects of the mind and soul. He in fact lays emphasis on paranoid thoughts as he creates a doppelganger that is physical through his mental pathology. In the “The Fall of the House of Usher,” he attempts resolving the rivalry with a sword which helps the author bring out the effects of mental illnesses; while in “William Wilson,” the two beings are brought to one being which is then haunted by personality that is divided.

I am fully satisfied with my research paper. It cannot have been easy for your writers to compose! The topic is called, "PARALLEL ALGORITHM FOR MULTI-DIMENSIONAL MATRIX MULTIPLICATION OPERATIONS REPRESENTATION USING KARNAUGH MAP”. That is a very difficult topic! However, your writers developed an algorithm, included a diagram and a graph and related multi-dimensional matrix multiplication perfectly. I am thrilled with the work I received and will be using your company again in the near future. Thank you for all of your hard work on this project. I love it! |

I was trying to choose between EssaysEmpire.com and another online writing service and I didn’t know which one to pick. Then, I began to read reviews. I didn’t read even one thing negative about EssaysEmpire.com, and the other site was fraught with complaints. I went with EssaysEmpire.com, and it turned out that all the good things I had read about the service were true. My paper was fully guaranteed, but it was A-1 quality. The customer service people were great. The prices were right. Now, I am a devoted fan. When I need help with my writing, I go straight to EssaysEmpire.com! |

Thank you for doing such stellar work on my paper. How anyone could write a paper this well on a subject this boring, is beyond me. When I tried to write it myself, I thought it would have put my professor to sleep! Your writers made it sound so interesting! I really appreciate that. Thanks a million! |

I am completely satisfied with the paper I purchased from your company. I only wish I had known about you last year when I took an F grade for not being able to complete a paper on time. The work you did was marvelous. Whenever I find myself falling behind in my school work, I will be sure to pass along some of my more difficult written assignments to you |

I appreciate the help your wring service gave me with my biology paper. I have never cared much for biology. It is a tough subject for me to grasp. This is why I needed so much help with my paper. The writer absolutely understood the whole topic and turned out work that would have made anyone proud. Thanks a million for the great paper. |

I had to turn on my laptop for the express purpose of writing to you. I had to let you know what lifesavers you people are! I had never even considered hiring a professional writer to help me and was almost resigned to dropping out of school altogether. Then, I thought about it, and asked myself what it would hurt to try EssaysEmpire.com for just one paper. That paper was written astonishingly well! From that one paper, I learned many of the things that I did not know about writing. It was perfect, so I learned all about formatting in the APA style. I learned a lot, so I want to thank you for that. |

Given the short amount of time I gave your writers to create my term paper, I was amazed by how good it was when I received it back! It appeared they had spent months writing it, rather than just one week. Thank you, EssaysEmpire.com! I enjoyed doing business with you. You are a fabulous writing company. |
