Thread: You cannot defeat your own conscious!

    You cannot defeat your own conscious!

    Even though the nemesis of William Wilson is as real, within his own mind, as the tables and chairs upon which he sits and gambles to his ill-gotten gain, I took his antagonist to be a manifestation of his of his own guilty conscience. No matter what his enemy looked like to the general public, to him, he was an exact duplicate of himself.
