“As he is no longer beautiful, he is no longer useful”
I’ve read this before and it’s just as depressing as I remember it. It’s a short story of love, friendship, helping the poor & the needy, & being selfless.

In terms of imaginative storytelling it is wondrous, unfortunately the anti-Semitism that it entails is simply a product of its time and reflects greatly on society during the years of his height.
Although I do love Wilde's work, his writing can sometimes portray questionable political opinions which have not aged well. Nonetheless his work does encapsulate a reflection of class difference which is still prevalent today.
