Author : Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde was an Irish born writer, dramatist and poet. He was one of the greatest talents to emerge on the British literary scene since Shakespeare. He was a spokesperson for Aestheticism. From an illustrious background, Wilde was extraordinarily gifted. His works ranged from plays to novels to poetry to fairytales. He moved effortlessly between literary genres. His works for children and adults have been celebrated through generations. Fairytales, such as The Happy Prince and A House of Pomegranates, have been included in the annals of British Children’s Literature, while his plays, such as Lady Windermere’s Fan and An Ideal Husband, are masterpieces, remaining without parallel to this day.

Key Insights from The Picture of Dorian Gray

  • The rapid decline of Dorian Gray highlights the dangers of hedonism and the pursuit of aesthetic pleasure without the consideration of moral consequences. Wilde suggests that a life focused solely on beauty can lead to deep moral corruption and ultimately self-destruction.
  • Dorian Gray's portrait serves as a mirror to his soul, encapsulating the idea that true beauty resonates from within. As Dorian's external appearance remains youthful, the portrait bears the scars of his internal decay, symbolizing the conflict between surface appearances and the true self.
  • The relationship between Dorian and Lord Henry underscores the seductive nature of influence and manipulation. Lord Henry's perspectives challenge Dorian's values and ultimately push him down a path of moral degradation, illustrating the power of charismatic mentorship.
