The Picture of Dorian Gray

Delving into gothic horror, this novel examines the themes of human corruption, the allure of sin, and the consequences of vanity. It tells the story of Dorian Gray, whose portrait reflects the moral decay of his soul while he remains outwardly youthful. Wilde's exploration of aestheticism and the duality of human nature invites readers to ponder the cost of indulgence and the pursuit of beauty.
