The Picture of Dorian Gray
The Picture of Dorian Gray
📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK
If I were to trade my soul for eternal youth and beauty, what kind of face would I ultimately wear?
📝ONGO's Reflection
When I first opened Oscar Wilde's uncanny tale, I felt a deep shiver at the blind human hunger for beauty. While Dorian's portrait ages and corrupts in his place, he keeps his flawless youth and indulges in every pleasure. But the stench of a rotting soul does not stay confined to the canvas. Each time I look in a mirror, I find myself afraid of what my own soul's portrait might be painting. Behind the beauty of our surfaces, what is it that we are hiding?
