Description

The Picture of Dorian Gray, penned by Oscar Wilde, is a captivating exploration of aesthetics, morality, and the duality of human nature. The novel tells the story of Dorian Gray, a young and extraordinarily handsome aristocrat, who becomes enamored with his own image after having his portrait painted by artist Basil Hallward. Influenced by the hedonistic philosophy of the charismatic Lord Henry Wotton, Dorian wishes for eternal youth, leading to a Faustian bargain where his portrait ages and bears the marks of his moral depravity, while he remains eternally youthful and beautiful. As Dorian indulges in a life of excess and vice, the consequences of his choices manifest in his portrait, reflecting the corruption of his soul. Wilde’s witty prose and philosophical depth challenge readers to consider the values of beauty, art, and the cost of self-indulgence, making this novel a timeless classic that resonates with themes of vanity and the pursuit of pleasure.
