Status Updates From The Uncensored Picture of D...

God! This part surprised me 🤯

GAYYYYYYYYYYYY

ถึงอย่างนั้นก็เถอะ สักวันคุณจะมองดูเขาและเขาจะดูเหมือนผิดเพี้ยนไปจากรูปวาด เล็กน้อยในสายตาของคุณ หรือคุณอาจจะไม่ชอบโทนสีผิวของเขาหรืออะไรสักอย่าง ในใจคุณจะตำหนิติเตียนเขาอย่างขื่นขม และคิดอว่าเขาทำตัวเลวร้ายอย่างยิ่งกับคุณ คราวต่อไปที่เขามาเยือน คุณจะมีท่าทีเย็นชาและไม่ยินดียินร้าย มันจะเป็น เรื่องน่าเสียดายมาก เพราะมันจะทำให้คุณเปลี่ยนไปจากเดิม สิ่งที่แย่ที่สุดของการมีความรักก็คือมันทำให้เรากลายเป็นคนไม่มีอารมณ์รัก

Es muy interesante y envolvente, y muy curioso el cambio de Dorian Gray.

Craisi craisi dorian

tbh i’m lost

“To get back my youth I would do anything in the world, except take exercise, get up early, or be respectable.”

“Oh, she is more than good, she is beautiful,”

Wiled uses sensory details to describe the room that Basil and Henry sit in, and we aren't quite given an idea of what is happening in the book, but simply where the scene is taking place. Because of this, we are left with a strong curiosity to figure out why the setting is so important, rather than the characters and actions.

mr acabo de dar cuenta que ya lo lei ??? y parece q esto es una relectura pero bueno

[“You have changed, of course, but not in appearance. I wish you would tell me your secret. To get back my youth I would do anything in the world, except take exercise, get up early, or be respectable.]

A man after my own heart.

ಠ_ಠ

I hate poetry, and I hate the French. I hate this page.

[“I love scandals about other people, but scandals about myself don't interest me. They have not got the charm of novelty."]

May I aspire to this level of DGAF.

I’m cross with Dorian for treating Basil this way.

I fear I’m a nerd I’m taking a break from school to read a book I’ve read before and I’m having the time of my life

It’s so interesting because this is what Wilde actually intended the novel to be and it completely changes the point of the story…the discussions about the “implied homosexuality” is actually quite literally just homosexuality, Wilde never censored it only his publisher did (and before he had the chance to approve what went to print!)

Dorian Gray is so babygirl

Amando

Time to compareee

#murder

holiday reading going wilde

The racism is strong on this page. Fucking yikes.

[Outside, there is the stirring of birds among the leaves or the sound of men going forth to their work or the sigh and sob of the wind coming down from the hills, & wandering round the silent house as though it feared to wake the sleepers. Veil after veil of thin dusky gauze is lifted, & by degrees the forms and colours of things are restored to them, and we watch the dawn remaking the world in its antique pattern.]

zadnjic sem napacno str oznacla upsi.. anyways kak dolgo ze berem tooooo

[He would examine with minute care, and often with a monstrous and terrible delight, the hideous lines that seared the wrinkling forehead or crawled around the heavy sensual mouth, wondering sometimes which were the more horrible, the signs of sin or the signs of age.]

CALLED IT!!! Damn, I’m good, even when I can’t 100% understand everything being said.

Tbh, I just impressed myself.

It really seems like this book that Dorian is reading is basically his story?

[It was a novel without a plot, and with only one character, being, indeed, simply a psychological study of a certain young Parisian, who spent his life trying to realise in the nineteenth century all the passions and modes of thought that belonged to every century except his own, and to sum up, as it were, in himself the various moods through which the world-spirit had…]

This goes on for another 3 lines. What???

I do not think that Wilde intended to write this book as a reflection of himself, as the characters he wrote. But, I do believe that he intentionally added some of his beliefs into this book. Although this book is not a romance in any way, it has very heavy homoerotic undertones, which would be reasonable considering that a lot of books written in the 17th century followed this style of writing as well.

just finished la préface et iiihhhh j’ai hâte + j’aurais voulu befriend oscar wilde
