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.

The heavy handed message gave me the ick. But still very readable.

really sweet and simple story, and it's well written. i just don't like it as much as wilde's other work because i don't find it as memorable ^^

how is it possible that a six page story is able to break my heart like that?
