this was such a beautiful book. oscar wilde’s use of imagery is insane. greed and the urge to stay young and beautiful forever really has an impact on the character, dorian gray. it is such a beautiful, unique and telling tale. i felt like i was there, witnessing the events as they unfolded in real time. and oh! the ending, how splendid! this is probably one of my favourite books of all time. i do not know what wilde put in this book, but i am in love.
