The Picture of Dorian Gray
- The Picture of Dorian Gray*
by Oscar Wilde
- Dorian, a beautiful young man, wishes to remain young while his portrait ages. With his wish granted, he proceeds to experiment, manipulate, and corrupt everyone and everything in his life. Oscar Wilde’s classic novel The Picture of Dorian Gray offers students an opportunity to discuss art’s role in society.
Activity Ideas
- How does art reflect society? How does art shape society?
- Ekphrasis: Choose a piece of art to write about. Write about the emotions it invokes, the life of a person or animal depicted, what associations you have with the image(s) depicted, etc.
* published by Oxford University Press, 1998
