chapter 3 went a bit over my head. i got the general idea though

this book is absolutely beautiful

also i find it very interesting that Basil’s love and admiration for Dorian Gray are clearly coming from a place of homosexuality, and he is afraid of people seeing into his soul through his art, while Wilde was a closeted homosexual himself.

The first chapter of this book may be the most beautifully and eloquently written thing i’ve ever read. Wilde’s poetic writing style is truly incredible.
