“Basil Hallward is what I think I am; Lord Henry is what the world thinks me; Dorian is what I would like to be—in other ages, perhaps.”
Oscar Wilde’s writing is poetic and full of sharp wit. The novel explores deep themes, such as the dangers of vanity and the corruption of the soul. Though some parts can feel slow, the story remains gripping, especially as Dorian’s fate unfolds.
Overall, this is a thought-provoking book that raises important questions about life and morality. A must-read for those who enjoy philosophical and gothic literature!
