WILLIAM WILSON by EDGAR ALLAN POE

In this story a young man attending school in England meets his doppleganger,or double, who looks and dresses the same,and even shares the same birthday (which happens to be Poe's as well). His double is a never-ending source of angst for the young man, who believes he is superior to all others, and is given to a profligate lifestyle with few morals and little respect for his peers. but finds that he is outsmarted at every turn by his double, who follows him to both Eton and Oxford and then beyond, finding ways to turn up every time our protagonist takes an immoral turn in life. This story inspired Steven King's book "The Outsider".
