The Picture of Dorian Gray- Oscar Wilde
What is there to say about a novel which had been written by a poet? Perhaps the introductory quote upon page five, “But beauty, real beauty, ends where an intellectual expression begins.” Shows the true context of what lies within the story that is to follow.
A mixture of opinions about beauty and the appreciation of vanity, and a very opinionated man influencing the young mind of the man named Dorian Gray. And the ending, oh the ending…
