The Picture of Dorian Gray - Oscar Wilde

The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde is a haunting tale of beauty, vanity, and moral decay. The novel follows the life of Dorian Gray, a young man whose portrait ages and bears the marks of his sinful actions, while he himself remains youthful and untouched by time. As Dorian pursues a life of hedonism and indulgence, his once-innocent soul becomes increasingly corrupted, with the portrait reflecting the darkness within him.

Through a blend of Gothic horror and philosophical reflection, Wilde explores themes of aestheticism, the consequences of unchecked desires, and the nature of the human soul. This provocative and timeless work challenges readers to consider the cost of living a life devoted solely to pleasure and appearance.
