- 885: Psychological Doubles
- ... Gothic theory of the double is both reductive and powerful. It assumes that we are all playing a role in life; that a raving beast waits within for the chains to loosen or snap. Doubles stories seem to proliferate when people sense an unnegotiable divide between the true self and society, between nature and culture. (Edmunson 48) Such duality of roles is expressed in terms of split personalities in both The ... what will happen to us in the future and attaches it to a coherent, suspenseful narrative that will probably achieve some resolution. With that resolution, anxiety is discharged--at least for a while. In the short story, the anxiety released is the anxiety over telling a complex story about yourself, a story that might entail reflections on economic injustice and sexism, or on your own laziness, selfishness or brutality (Edmunson 48). However, there are points of healthy and unhealthy coexistence with the beast. For example, personality disorder syndrome (PDS) is a condition very much like the characters in these two stories. First proposed by H. J. Eysenck in 1967, Eysenck categorized these two sides of us, generally in terms of the difference between our public and privates selves, as two independent dimensions known as extroversion- ...
- 886: Phineas And Gene A Comparitive
- ... other hand, was a very insecure person. The reader was able to see Gene's insecurities when he first tried to have a conversation with Phineas. His roommate was being very explicit in revealing the stories of his past, but when it came for Gene's turn to tell his stories he felt his "ideas would have been as dull as catechism after his;"(101). If Gene was confident, he would have been comfortable in partaking in the conversation between him and his roommate. Another example ... explained how he listened to Phineas speak when they first met, which proved that Phineas was a leader because he began the conversation, and instead of participating, Gene just listened.

Whitey does not understand the implications of his stories when he describes Jim as a joker or "a card" and unwittingly shows him to be a mean and despicable man. At the same time, Whitey reveals himself to be as unperceptive, unintelligent, insensitive and ... so far as to imitate Stair's voice on the phone and set up a phony meeting with Julie then chased her down the street when she showed up. The fact that Whitey narrates these stories in first person doesn't soften Jim's awful practical jokes but shows the barber's equally insensitive ignorance making Jim's character all the more plausible.

The reader is lead by the author through ... Soft-core pornography, on the other hand, often depicts "the subtle phenomenological effects that result when a character's sexual behaviour clashes with his or her personal and social characteristics." (Davis, p. xx, 1983). In short, he study's literature or films that involve characters with personalities that are developed and conveyed to the audience. In these stories the characters will have sex, but the sex may or may not be the main focus of the story, but rather something that is bound to happen when personal and social characteristics clash.
