  • Summary

  • "William Wilson" is a chilling tale of mystery and psychological horror by Edgar Allan Poe. The story unfolds through the confession of a man tormented by guilt and driven to the brink of madness. It follows the life of the narrator, who shares his name, William Wilson, with a mysterious doppelgänger he first encounters as a boy in school. This other William Wilson seems to shadow the protagonist's every step, mirroring him in appearance and actions, yet displaying a moral compass in stark contrast to the narrator's increasingly dissolute life. As the tale progresses, the eerie and inexplicable similarities between the two men lead to a haunting exploration of identity, conscience, and the duality of human nature. Set against the backdrop of European cities and imbued with Gothic elements, "William Wilson" delves into the depths of the psyche, questioning the very essence of self and the irrevocable consequences of a life led astray.
