Guys, I’ve finished the book (Dorian Gray)… I can’t believe he actually killed himself at the end! Well, I wasn’t really expecting any happy end, but… I didn’t expect that neither! I imagined that Dorian was going to pay for his sins… or perhaps he could show a different life’s philosophy after so many years of lots of pleasure and none happiness.
I realized also that, in nowadays, living as Dorian lived and having this narcissistic behavior is not judged as it was before, at late 19th century. Now, it is part of our life the extreme aestheticism, but we don’t think that it is a bad thing. We pretend we are sensible, we pretend that we are more spiritual human beings, more human…
But, truly, to become more human means to become less divine… And we always forget that part.
