"Drying Snot"

A little over a year ago I became an NOR subscriber, and have read much of every issue since. What amazes me about your magazine is that, while I very often share your point of view, after reading it I always feel the need to take a bath. The sarcastic vitriol burns and your self-righteous denunciations cling like drying snot. Cancel my subscription.

Poe uses the doppelgänger motif as a physical manifestation of Wilson’s conscience and shows the demise of a man who, blinded by his sins, kills his own conscience.
