In this introspective and cautionary episode of Hope is Kindled, we examine Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray, a haunting tale of beauty, corruption, and the soul’s decay. With sharp literary analysis and personal reflection, we explore Dorian’s descent under the influence of Lord Henry, the tragedy of Basil’s loyalty, and the novel’s searing critique of vanity and hypocrisy. Drawing comparisons to On the Road, we reflect on how Wilde’s wit conceals profound truths about friendship, influence, and the price of denying one’s conscience. From Wilde’s daring preface to the haunting portrait in the attic, this episode encourages young and seasoned readers alike to confront the shadows within — and to find meaning in the light we choose to follow.
