WILDE (1997)

[stairnaheireann]

#OTD in 1895 – Oscar Wilde was arrested, in the Cadogan Hotel, London, after losing a libel case against John Sholto Douglas (9th Marquess of Queensberry), who had called Wilde a homosexual.

Oscar Wilde was an Irish playwright, novelist, essayist, and poet born in Dublin. At the height of his fame and success, while his masterpiece, The Importance of Being Earnest, was still on stage in London, Wilde had the Marquess of Queensberry prosecuted for libel. Married to Constance Lloyd and father of two children Cyril and Vyvyan, Wilde was also conducting an ongoing affair with Lord Alfred…

The Cod

There's something very strange and odd, About the habits of the Cod.

For when you're swimming in the sea, He sometimes bites you on the knee.

And though his bites are not past healing, It is a most unpleasant feeling.

And when you're diving down below, He often nips you on the toe.

And though he doesn't hurt you much, He has a disagreeable touch.

There's one thing to be said for him, - It is treat to see him swim.

But though he swims in graceful curves, He rather gets upon your nerves.

I also have a new perspective on Dorian Gray after I saw both the movie Dorian Gray and Wilde. What if Henry is the devil, or he represents the devil? Since he is corrupting Dorian constantly, and he made Dorian aware of his temporary youth and beauty, therefore driving him to a passive and unconscious faustian bargain?

And is it just me, or Lord Alfred Douglas has a very similar behaviour to Lord Henry's? Think about this. Both Dorian and Oscar were influenced by a Lord. Both of them were quite chill about everything before the Lord entered their lives (more or less). Both of their lives end up pretty bad after being influenced.

Now I know that The picture of Dorian Gray was written in 1890, before Oscar met Bosie, but Dorian's life and Oscar's are incredibly similar.
