Abstract

The article focuses on a study examining Mark Twain's works "Pudd'nhead Wilson" and "Those Extraordinary Twins" in relation to nineteenth-century psychological theories, particularly the concept of the double brain. The research highlights Twain's interest in psychological and psychical research, including his connections with notable psychologists and his exploration of mental duality through the characters of Angelo and Luigi. It argues that Twain's narrative techniques create a complex, layered storytelling experience that reflects contemporary understandings of psychological processes. The study concludes that Twain's narratives challenge readers to engage with fiction in a more nuanced and psychological manner. [Extracted from the article]
