Man With Two Faces

Edward Mordrake

Edward Mordrake, an English nobleman, was born with he face of a parasitic twin on the back of his

head. He was known as the “Man with two faces”. The face appeared to be conscious of it, ‘If Edward

screamed, it would smirk and laugh in silence.’

Often the face will quietly gibber without ceasing. Edward said it was never sleeping but kept him

awake with whispers of other things it was just thinking about.

[… ]“Man With Two Faces” demanded that the face should be destroyed before his burial’ as his awful

whisperings remain in his grave’

Edward Mordrake (or Mordake as he was originally called) was a young, wealthy, and good-looking

English nobleman who had everything from life that one might hope for. But, an awful curse came

with all those wonderful blessings. Mordake possessed a horrific disfigurement in addition to his

perfect, natural face: another face on the back of his head.

Given the elegance of the odd face, there was no question that it possessed its own intellect of a

malignant nature’. His “devil brother” constantly troubled Edward Mordrake, who held him up all night

such things as they’re just thinking about in hell. Edward wrote a note ordering the evil face to be

destroyed after his death, ‘so that it can end its awful whispering in his grave.’ a) Why is this story considered a horror tale? ​

A história de Edward Mordrake é a história de um homem que nasceu com duas faces, uma que ele controlava e uma que não. A face que ele não controlava ficava atrás de sua cabeça e falava com ele. Ela não era amigável e o mantinha acordado durante a noite.

A história pode ser considera de terror, pois o objetivo dela é criar medo no leitor. O leitor se sente assustado com a possibilidade de existir a anomalia que assombrava Edward. Essa história específica tem um tom de medo mais psicológico pois apesar de não possuir elementos sobrenaturais ela lida com um medo humano que é o medo de ser parasitado.
