The Picture of Dorian Gray

 "The Picture of Dorian Gray" is a novel written by Irish author Oscar Wilde. It was first published in 1890 and is considered one of Wilde's most famous and enduring works. The novel is a philosophical and psychological exploration of beauty, morality, and the corrupting influence of vanity and hedonism.

The story revolves around the handsome and youthful Dorian Gray, who has his portrait painted by a talented artist named Basil Hallward. Dorian becomes infatuated with the idea of eternal youth and beauty, expressing a desire that the portrait would age instead of himself. His wish seemingly comes true, as he remains youthful and unblemished while his portrait bears the brunt of his moral degradation and sinful actions.

As Dorian indulges in a life of debauchery, the portrait increasingly reflects his inner ugliness and corruption, serving as a visual representation of his soul's decay. The novel delves into themes of morality, the duality of human nature, and the consequences of unchecked hedonism. It also examines the relationship between art and life, as the portrait becomes a powerful symbol of the tension between an individual's outward appearance and inner character.

"The Picture of Dorian Gray" was initially met with controversy due to its exploration of decadence and its perceived immorality. Wilde's writing style and wit are evident throughout the novel, making it a classic example of late 19th-century literature. The novel has continued to captivate readers and remains a thought-provoking work that raises questions about the nature of beauty, the pursuit of pleasure, and the consequences of one's actions.
