i have finished another classic and as i know you all nEED my reviews because i am so smart and literate and eloquent frfr here is my review of the picture of dorian gray:

faust fanfiction. a good one, one of those that is better than the original for sure but while reading i was so heavily reminded of faust!! the characters?? the topic of youth? and pleasure? and morality? and corruption? i see you mr oscar wilde, a homosexual ��. dorian gray is the OG material gwurl and the most dramatic bitch i’ve ever read a 200 page book about. also?? him kissing his own portrait before smooching lord henry? just proves that homophobia is real and internalised homophobia was the rEAL REASON dorian turned so evil and rotten </3 and i will dIE on that hill. he could have just fucked henry and gotten it over with but nooo he had to spend every other night with him going to dinner…or the opera, just yearning pitifully after him and unable to let him go. truly heartbreaking. </3 internalised homophobia is the rEAL villain of this story.

#the picture of dorian gray #maze reads classics #“oscar wilde. a homosexual“ is an inside joke btw #because i have read an article about his court case and that’s how the author of the article decided to start hshsjsjss #“oscar wilde. a homosexual. was an irish author etc etc”#i really want to write a comparison paper on this fr wtf happened to me #because faust and dorian gray???? so similar #if i find an opportunity to do that aND get a grade on it i will #because i have a loot of thoughts #we have the imoral and unlikeable hedonistic mc #(tho faust has aLWAYS been a dick and i believe dorian was just some pretty boy before henry got his hands on him)#(faust is also a pedo….)#we have the dEVIL himself (yes lord henry iS evil incarnate and i will die on this hill)#he just wants to corrupt people because he’s well…the devil fROM the bIble (he’s not that’s just a tiktok audio)#i really wanna compare basil to gretchen because it’s fUNNY #but gretchen is definitely sybill (both love interests whose life is destroyed by the mc)#(one is more age appropriate than the other 👀🤫)#and i guess basil is the “assistant”?? because i guess he also admires faust #also faust??? sUPER DRAMATIC #that man tried ro kill himself because and oNLY because he realised that he can’t know everything #he wanted to die?? because being all knowing was impossible??#scientists be wildin
