The Picture of Dorian Gray

The Picture of Dorian Gray


By: Oscar Wilde
Reviewed by: Chelsea R., 14
Rating: It was amazing!


The overly-criticized Oscar Wilde writes candidly about vanity of men and deterioration of society in The Picture of Dorian Gray. A beautiful young man is corrupted with thoughts of his good looks after having the complements of others imposed upon him. Wilde spoke about the taboo practices of late 19th-century London behind a veil of eloquence, and can be applauded for his unique writing style.
