The Picture of Dorian Gray
Oscar Wilde
Synopsis "The Picture of Dorian Gray"
"The soul is a Terrible reality. it can be bought And sold and bartered away." Meet Dorian Gray, the beautiful young man with an impossibly charming face and spirit as he sits for Basil Hallward-a deeply moral artist and a friend of the impish Lord Henry-who becomes obsessed with his beauty and wants to paint him, Dorian is enchanted by the perfection of his portrait. But, influenced by the well-phrased epigrams of the hedonist Lord Henry on the transience of youth and beauty, Dorian becomes jealous of it and wishes that the portrait bear the scars of his passing youth and age, while he would remain young forever. The only novel written by Oscar Wilde, the Picture of Dorian Gray is an arresting moral commentary and a classic example of Gothic fiction. with an unparalleled depiction of the Faustian bargain, this parable of aesthetic ideal remains a literary masterpiece almost 125 years after its publication. This novel is a puzzle, intended to tease conventional minds with its exploration of the myriad interrelationships between art, life, and consequence.
