Much like moby dick, I just got memed into picking up this extra spicy homo-erotica called Picture Of Dorian Gray. Im really having trouble taking these English men seriously. I also find Basil and Henry to be creepy with their predatory behavior towards Dorian and they obviously have feelings for young Dorian Gray. I'm 1/4th of the way in and Dorian seems like he is the perfect trap for Victorian era England.
Does this pedo/homosexual theme end or what? Why is lit suggesting this book?

Same with me
The book fucking sucks and ultimately serves as wildes' mouthpiece for his shitty hedonistic philosophies

Go back to goodreads, middle aged female reviewer.

I don't agree with Wilde's philosophy either, but I appreciate his savage attack on Victorian society and witty banter.
You read Dorian Gray because the prose and characters are good, not because the philosophy Wilde pushes is anything to uphold.

I agree with the good prose and characters, although I can't say I agree with the ideals of any of them, or the book at large

Yes, but Dorian, Henry and Basil are clearly meant to represent aspects of Wilde's character.
Like all of Wilde's works, Dorian Gray can be read as a character study of the author himself.
