i love how this novel contains a single, unexplained, supernatural element; and everything else is just human interaction. it doesn't lean on the mystical anymore than is necessary, as the real crux lies in the mundane morality, where far more philosophical exploration can take place. wilde was a true literary mastermind.
It is an irony of fate that after he wrote this novel he met a beautiful but self-centered and weak-minded man who eventually ruined him. I would like to mention that the court refused his bail (which was unusual) because they feared he would escape to France. They were determined to do the show trial it seems. He went to France the next day he was released and never came back to England.
Thank you for another brilliant video. You made my days！
I love your inclusion of period artwork, with Munch and post impressionist/expressionism pieces fitting in nicely and complimenting the existential themes.
i did a cross-analysis of this book and aldous huxley's brave new world for my a-level coursework a couple years ago. i recently dug it back up to help a friend who was also writing about bnw.
i had a lot of difficulty motivating myself to write it because my personality is very incongruent with the british education system, but looking back, it's one of my proudest pieces of work as i absolutely love both novels.
How do the two books link? Sounds so interesting
I read it and fell in love with its story and prose. I understood what was going on, despite being a young teenager at the time. I was constantly being told that whatever irrational behaviour man shows to his fellow man, is the result of demonic activity. Protests resulted as a natural reaction to such utter non sense, since no self - respecting demon would want a man to hurt another man to negatively affect its image, least of all its public image if it is a famous or a well known one. And so, my respect for fellow man increased, the awareness that it is human to make mistakes and learn.
OW is one of my heroes. The best mind of his time or any other.
If you wish to see the prison Oscar Wilde was in please press the profile pic. And scroll down the videos to the one entitled Oscar Wilde's last London residence and his meeting with Marcel Proust.
The picture of Dorian fifty shades of Gray is a truly superb novel. But his autobiographical essay he wrote in Wandsworth prison, de Profundis, is his most sublime, truthful work
Just yesterday I learned that The Marquess of Queensbury, the man who had Wilde imprisoned for having an affair with his son, was a real person and not just a character on Mike Tyson Mysteries.
Your videos are gaining more psychological and philosophical depth. Keep improving 👍
Thank you so much for the summary. 😍😍😍😍Was waiting for it.
Thanks!! One of my favourite writers... Greetings frim México.
16:31 Wouldn't Nietzsche say that Basil wasn't an übermensch? Because especially in the beginning of the book, he was very much depended on others, chiefly on Dorian Gray.
You did it again', make me reread writers I was more or less finished with' thanks 🙏
I'm so glad to stumble your channel while im searching thank you so much!
You are so welcome!
Reread time! Thank you!
"Picture of Dorian Gray" was my favorite novels for yrs. (It is so good but Oscar was kinda annoying and pompous)
2) Nowadays "I'm gay" is considered good character development...and that's all we need to know about a character lol.
3) The novel that poisons Dorian "Against Nature" is also amazing and probably my second favorite. (After "the sound and the fury")
Would The Smiths have existed without Wilde?
Probably not.. which would be a shame I like The Smiths not a fan of Morrissey personality but like what they have made..
They might still have existed. Johnny Marr would still be an amazing musician and composer and Stephen Patrick would still have song about some angst he was interested in. Maybe a different song list but still the same mood.
That was beautiful. I really liked this novel and it still remains one of the only pieces of old literature that I read quickly and absorbed it quickly as well.

One of the best books I've ever read
Great job! Thanks 😊
I have not read all comments on this novel; has anyone written about it being an incredible illustration of narcissism?
Great video man
12:00 Thank you for that
It was an unexpected ending....nice explanation sir...i really like your voice😊
L could understand your words. Very clear
Thanks so much.
Does anyone know the artist painting at 18:40
The soul of man under socialism, I think is his greatest masterpiece.
“Prince Harry type” ??
A Shakespearean reference
@@Fiction_Beast Phew! Thought for a moment you meant….
*some of wilde statement are half wit. They don't make sense*
😎
I adore the Legend that Dorian Gray has become and what it stands for, however, I do not find the novel well written.
This was just bad.
Might be a cover up propaganda
He dont feel gay to me
