Answer:

Look the answer into the Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

the narrator gives himself the pseudonym of William Wilson because he does not want to his name to sully the page. He does not discuss his later evil deeds, and chooses instead to tell the story of how he became wicked suddenly rather than slowly, in the way of most men.
