Desire, Decay, and Decadence


Wilde wrote The Picture of Dorian Gray with the intention of incorporating numerous levels of hidden literary meanings under his words. Whether it was to use imagery, create morals, or shape symbols, he crafted his work to surround the understanding that he had a reason for individual thoughts and events. Each sentence and action that a person said and did had a purpose, and it was up to the reader (me, in this case) to determine what he was trying to convey. This blog will examine the themes found in the novel that divulge the evils of humanity through the author’s characters and their actions, interactions, and motivations.
