The Picture of Dorian Gray

The Picture of Dorian Gray — the most famous work of Oscar Wilde, his only novel that at the time provoked a storm of negative reviews and yet achieved incredible success. The main character of the novel, the handsome Dorian,... — is a dual, ambiguous figure. A subtle aesthetic and romantic becomes a ruthless criminal. The attempt to preserve his extraordinary beauty and youth turns into a failure. Instead of the hero, it is his portrait that ages — but this cannot go on forever, and Dorian's death sets everything right. Oscar Wilde's novel remains very relevant today — doesn't the pursuit of eternal youth sometimes lead to the loss of one's true self?
