Descrição

Dorian Gray, a strikingly handsome young man, becomes ensnared in a life of excess and indulgence after encountering the captivating Lord Henry Wotton. Fascinated by the notion that beauty and pleasure are the ultimate pursuits, Dorian finds himself drawn deeper into a world that values aesthetic appeal above all else. As he embraces this hedonistic philosophy, the boundaries of morality begin to blur, leading him down a path fraught with consequences.

The novel intricately explores the themes of vanity, the superficiality of society, and the idea of a dual existence. As Dorian's portrait ages, reflecting the corruption of his soul, he remains physically youthful, illustrating the stark contrast between appearance and reality. This supernatural element serves as a poignant reminder of the costs that accompany a life devoted to unrestrained pleasure.

Ultimately, Dorian's journey becomes a haunting reflection on identity and the human experience, challenging readers to consider the true value of beauty and the shadows it can cast on one's life. Through Oscar Wilde's masterful prose, the story unravels the dark allure of vanity and the perilous nature of desire.
