(born October 16, 1854,Dublin, Ireland—died November 30, 1900, Paris, France)
Irish wit, poet, and dramatist whose reputation rests on his only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray (1891), and on his comic masterpieces Lady Windermere’s Fan (1892) and The Importance of Being Earnest (1895).
He was a spokesman for the late 19th-century Aesthetic movement in England, which advocated art for art's sake, and he was the object of celebrated civil and criminal suits involving homosexuality and ending in his imprisonment (1895–97).]]> 2021-12-09 12:41:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ingaliepaliepina7/39jz75x4yotw9k5m/wish/1938056448 ingaliepaliepina7 https://padlet.com/ingaliepaliepina7/39jz75x4yotw9k5m/wish/1938076508

Basil tells Henry that he's wrong—looks aside, anyone who's different in any way is marked by fate. He predicts that his art, Lord Henry's wealth, and Dorian Gray's beauty will make them all suffer for their distinction.

Lord Henry ignores Basil's dire prophecy, and focuses on the name—Dorian Gray, the beautiful boy in the portrait. Basil, it turns out, hadn't wanted to tell Henry Dorian's name, and Lord Henry asks why.

Basil replies that some names are special to him; whenever he likes someone, he always conceals their names from friends, because it makes them seem more mysterious. In general, mysteries are more appealing.

This is something Lord Henry completely understands. In his marriage for example, he and his wife have nothing but secrets, and they both like it that way.

Basil laughs off Lord Henry's cynical attitude, and claims that his friend isn't really a cynic on the inside. Lord Henry responds that everyone's a poseur of one kind or another, and that cynicism is entertaining, in the least.

The friends go out into the garden, and Henry announces that he has to leave. Before he goes, though, he asks one more question: why won't he exhibit Dorian's portrait?Lord Henry remarks that it's amazing that Basil now cares for something more than his art, but Basil insists that Dorian is his art now; apparently, meeting Dorian has changed the whole way he sees the world.

Lord Henry starts hassling Basil about meeting Dorian. Basil finally admits that he doesn't want to exhibit the picture because the world will find out about his adoration for Dorian, something he hasn't even told Dorian about.

Lord Henry asks if Dorian feels the same way about Basil; Basil thinks Dorian likes him, but isn't sure. Lord Henry suggests that Basil might get sick of Dorian—after all, he reasons, genius lasts longer than mere physical beauty.

Basil thinks not. He argues that Lord Henry couldn't possibly understand, since he's so faithless in his loves. Ooh, ouch.

Intellect is in itself a mode of exaggeration, and destroys the harmony of any face."
"The ugly and the stupid have the best of it in this world. They can sit at their ease and gape at the play."
"An artist should create beautiful things, but should put nothing of his own life into them."
