Aestheticism and Homoeroticism in Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray
Number of pages:
6
ABSTRACT:
A 6 page
paper discussing how these two influences work together in the novel. Wilde is able to
employ his devotion to aestheticism to weave the tale of Dorian Gray and its attached
homoeroticism because he gives all involved a lifestyle in which things can be hidden or
contorted, but always used for the main characters' benefit. In this work, aestheticism and
homoeroticism work together in a manner that if either were missing, then likely the work
would not retain its enduring attraction. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
