Dorian Grey&Why Devil didn't play his key role?
I just posted my first blog here.I can't say it is a Review of the book,i call it Abstract and i wrote a few already on my favorite masterpieces.
My review is named
*Dorian Grey&A Conversation with Oscar Wilde*
I don't know if you asked yourself why Mr.Wilde didn't give the Devil an active role in his novele-i think Devil was not present as a character who take part in events.
Goethe and Mikhail Bulgakov gave Devil a key role to act from the very beginning of their works.
i would like to know your thinking on this theme.
To read my abstract,please visit my blog here.
If i posted this on wrong place,then a thread could be :What is your thinking about Abstracts?
How do you like my writing and what do you think about such method of expression?
Dorian transformed his personality after meeting with Lord henry
If we decide that Lord Henry is not evil or at all culpable for Dorian's downfall, then are we saying that it's Dorian that's evil? Or at least it is completely Dorian's fault that he commits decidedly evil acts? Seems to me it's either one or the other. Either Lord Henry is evil (or guilty, if we don't want to use the E-word) or Dorian is. Thoughts?[/QUOTE]
You made a good point:in the beginning of the book there is no allusions that Dorian Gray has features he evinces after meeting with Lord Henry.It is very important fact:refer us to Lord Henry/hidden devil/ implanted *seeds*of Evil to Dorian./
We could for sure say Dorian transformed his personality after meeting with Lord Henry.
What do you think?
