In the book, Dorian Gray, Basil Hallward and Lord Henry all deserve wide analyses. It has also attracted a large number of readers because of its beautiful language, affluent images, dramatic plot and strong sense of aestheticism. However, besides from such perspective of art, comparatively, seldom are there analyses focusing on the hero’s mental process to reveal his corruption. In this paper, the author attempts to explain Dorian Gray’s gradual mental erosion through Freudian theory of Eros and study of death instinct. Besides his ideas of hedonism which originates from his Eros, the death of Basil Hallward further reveals his cruel psychology which is part of Eros. And his final tragedy reflects his death instinct. By specific exploration, it is discovered that Dorian’s ending is mainly caused by his Eros, which calls for his cruel mentality to commit crimes and later leads to his death instinct with development.展开更多

Since the novel was published in 1891, scholars have been studying it from various perspectives. Wilde expressed plentiful epigrams about love by conversations in the novel, and he once compared himself with characters in it, which provides possibility and clues for probing into his view of love through the novel. Starting from the description of women characters, Dorian's relationship with Basil and Henry, and some stories of marriage in the novel, the paper analyzes Wilde's aesthetic and pessimistic view of love and his advocacy for Greek love based on the British society then and Wilde's own experiences.展开更多

This article tries to justify the righteousness of Wilde's declamation—art for art's sake rather than for morality. Facing the dilemma of the coexistent Realism and Romanticism and restricted by the prevailed Puritan doctrine, Wilde chose to evade into the shelter of Utopia. In his Utopian world, there's no morality or immorality, there's only beauty. With his self-fashioning aestheticism, Oscar Wilde pursues beauty in his own Utopian world.展开更多

Even though Oedipus was pride and bad-tempered, I still admire him for he is a man of truth. And the fate of Oedipus is not the key that leads his downfall but his pride. Oscar Wilde and his famous long novel The Picture of Dorian Gray is mentioned next. Wilde stresses the autonomy of art,and holds up the banner of individualism in literary writing. He also suggests a new criterion to judge a work of art, which is"the intensification of personality".展开更多
