Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 1,7, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, language: English, abstract: In 19th century literature, whether it be prose or poetry, there is a central idea, a certain motif that can be found in many works - the concept of dualism.

In terms of literature, this conflict and idea of fragmentation of the human mind was often “expressed with the character‘s self-division or selfduplication“ (Krehl 1).
