I have a relative who resembles me somewhat. I think of this relative as my picture of Dorian Gray, that ages normally, while I stay young. Do you have a person, animal or thing, that is your picture of Dorian Gray?------------------

Dorian Gray is a fictional character. He always appeared very youthful but in reality he had a painting of himself in his attic, and it aged, showed injuries, etc while he maintained his youthful image.IP: Logged |

My kids swear I don't look any different than I did when I was in high school (to the point of my 18 year old daughter commenting on how "spooky" it is), but obviously they aren't seeing the lines on my forehead like I am LOLIP: Logged |

I have a strange feeling that Dorian's story isn't entirely fictional. IP: Logged |

The Picture of Dorian Gray was first published in 1890. It is the only published novel we have from Oscar Wilde, as he was mostly known for being a playwriter and a poet. Oscar Wilde became also known for his homosexuality and he even had to make his claim before court, as he was accused of showing indecent behavior along with a younger British poet and aristocrat. Don't forget that we are in the Victorian England (1837-1901) and homosexuality is a punishable offence.
The writer's preface to the book is a perfect presentation of his praise of aestheticism. Great writing, great movie, great theater play. The Picture of Dorian Gray is listed among the classics, but I would leave that to his readers. One thing is for sure about this great writer. His use of language is really illustrative!

Just one more thing! There is also the idiom of Dorian Gray in the dictionary and also the Dorian Gray syndrome! The last one being a so up to date phenomenon of our time i.e. selfies posted in various social media.IP: Logged |
