Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray is usually read as a cautionary tale: vanity, pleasure, and sin will destroy you in the end. But let’s be honest—part of the book reads like a fantasy. Dorian stays young and beautiful while the portrait ages. He gets to indulge in every desire without consequence, at least for a while. For some readers, that’s not horror—that’s wish fulfillment. So here’s the twist: is Wilde really warning us about corruption, or secretly tempting us with the idea of eternal youth and freedom from judgment? #Entertainment #Books #ClassicLiterature
