It is not wise to find symbols in everything that one sees. It makes life too full of terrors

Mr. Wilde, we're not in London anymore. One of the strangest, most breathtaking plays I have read.

well, she got what she wanted in the end 

La luna sembra molto strana questa sera

La tragedia di Wilde racconta la storia di Salomé in una delle tante versioni. Quella che ci dipinge l'autore è una donna ammaliatrice e sensuale, che tuttavia non riesce a spiccare molto come personaggio, o almeno a me non ha colpito particolarmente. Le pagine sono comunque dense di un fascino seducente e di una poesia ammirevole, ma devo dire che preferisco la chiave comica di Oscar Wilde, piuttosto che quella drammatica.

I kind of liked this one a bit more than the usual Wilde plays. I'm just not much of a fan of wit and humour and this one had a more darker theme. Plus, I've always liked the story about Salomé dancing and then lusting for a dead man's head.

Maybe I'd appreciate it more if I dug deep and really read into it. But I didn't enjoy the reading experience enough to put in that kind of mental effort.
