"For he who lives more lives than one
More deaths than one must die."
....
"For only blood can wipe out blood,
and only tears can heal"
More deaths than one must die."

- Plot- or character-driven? Character

For strange it was to see him pass
With a step so light and gay,
And strange it was to see him look
So wistfully at the day,
And strange it was to think that he
Had such a debt to pay.
In Reading jail, a prisoner is executed for murdering his wife, alongside him; Oscar Wilde, sentenced to hard labor for "homosexual offences"
Imprisoned with thieves and murderers, Oscar Wilde paints the dehumanizing picture of life in Reading jail.
Wilde talks about losing hope...
Something was dead in each of us,
And what was dead was Hope.
The degradation of the inmates, the hope gone,
nothing further was ever published by Oscar Wilde,
his last work of art a haunting one.

I am not a critic or literary scholar, but after reading Oscar Wilde's biographies, his earlier works, and his trial transcripts...this felt more impactful than perhaps anything else I've ever read in my life.

Oysa herkes öldürür sevdiğini,
kulak verin bu dediklerime,
kimi bir bakışı ile yapar bunu,
kimi dalkavukça sözler ile…
Korkaklar öpücük ile öldürür…
Yürekliler kılıç darbeleriyle.
Kimi gençken öldürür sevdiğini
kimi yaşlıyken.
Şehvetli ellerle boğar kimi
kimi altından ellerle
merhametli kişi bıçak kullanır
çünkü bıçakla ölen çabuk soğur.
Kimi yeterince sevmez kimi fazla sever
Kimi satar; kimi de satın alır.
Kimi gözyaşı döker öldürürken
kimi kılı kıpırdamadan.
Çünkü herkes öldürür sevdiğini
ama herkes öldürdü diye ölmez.
