Wilde's Dorian Gray: Hedonism, Art, and Tragedy

In this 'spoiler free' #bookrecommendations, I go over primary aspects of Oscar Wilde's renowned novel 'The Picture of Dorian Gray'. The video explores the book's central themes of art, beauty, intellect, and the corrupting influence of hedonism personified by Lord Henry. I analyze key quotes highlighting Wilde's unique writing style of condensing profound philosophical ideas into pithy sentences. The review delves into Lord Henry's role as a Satanic tempter figure who leads the innocent Dorian Gray down a path of moral decay. Overall, it provides an insightful analysis appreciating how Wilde weaves deep concepts into an engrossing narrative.
