O Retrato de Dorian Gray

Oscar Wilde

The Picture of Dorian Gray

I think the most surprising thing was that this was not very deep and the method was directly off the plot. Like in essence a caution against vanity and hedonism but it's not that it's always bad... like beauty love art pleasure and experience are all valuable parts of life and NEED to be experienced like Lord Henry seems to (maybe only talk about though and not actually experience? also his wife cheated on him casually). The problem is what happens when they become the only values. Dorian increasingly judges experiences by whether they're beautiful or pleasurable rather than whether they're good, and eventually other people become just experiences for him to consume and is that like bad? should we not look at human beings like side quests? they are people too apparently and corrupting them is equivalent to corrupting yourself.

9/10 bro much more entertaining than I expected, genuinely interesting philosophically, and probably my favorite novel I've read so far.

  Basil Hallward picteaza intr-o buna zi portretul tulburator al lui Dorian Gray. Doar ca, odata cu trecerea timpului, tanarul din tablou imbatraneste, pe cand modelul lui, Dorian, ramane neschimbat. Fiecare fapta, fiecare an trecut lasa pe chipul pictat inca un semn, fara ca acest amanunt sa fie cunoscut de ceilalti; doar creatorul lui, Basil Hallward, stie, iar pentru aceasta e ucis de Dorian Gray. Acesta din urma va ajunge si el la confruntarea fatala cu reflexia sa pictata si va sfarsi, imbatranit fara veste, victima misterioasa a imaginii din tabloul pe care atat l-a pretuit.
