I have come across countless novels that have left an impression on me, but "The Picture of Dorian Gray" by Oscar Wilde stands out among the rest. From the moment I started reading, I was completely immersed in the dark atmosphere and vivid descriptions of the characters and setting.At its core, the book is about the corrupting influence of beauty and the consequences of indulging in one's desires. The story follows the life of the young and handsome Dorian Gray, who becomes increasingly obsessed with his own physical appearance and the preservation of his youth. He makes a wish that his portrait will age in his place, allowing him to indulge in all manner of vices without any physical consequences. However, as Dorian's soul becomes increasingly corrupted by his actions, his portrait becomes a reflection of his true, twisted self.What I loved about the book was the way in which Wilde used the motif of mirrors as a metaphor for Dorian's psyche.
