Read “William Wilson” by Edgar Allan Poe and “The Other” by Jorge Luis Borges. Both are in Fifty Great Short Stories.
Write a response essay with at least 500 words of your own writing (quotations don’t count). Put the word count at the top of your submission. Also respond to a few of your fellow students. Both of these stories touch upon the concept of the doppelgänger (or double, but not a twin). Discuss the very different ways that these two authors handle this intriguing idea.
