It is generally agreed today, that the aspect of doubling in literature has always been a problem of high topicality. A lot of different masterpieces created by russian and foreign writers are based on the conflict of the narrator and his or her double. Our aim consists in a nuanced comparative analysis of several poems and novels plots of which are built on the above-mentioned principles. Methods: The exploration is realized through a comparative stylistic analysis of the concrete works by Dostoyevsky, Esenin and Rouling. Findings: To crown it all up, we can say with a high degree of confidence, that the authors whose works we have analyzed, used basically one and the same principles. We always see main character and his double. And this double is usually only the worst personification of the character’s dark side. Conclusions: In summary we must say, that it would be unfair not to mention the fact that this stylistic analysis does not provide us a full guidance on the problem we have taken under consideration. But we tried to be honest and consistent.
