Oscar Wilde

The Picture of Dorian Gray by Irish poet, novelist, and playwright Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) both allured and scandalized Victorian audiences with its sensuality. Ultimately, the novella once condemned for its perversions endures as a classic, leaving readers to determine which sins are concealed and which are laid bare in a society where, as Wilde said himself, ''Life holds the mirror up to Art.''

Personality Profile For Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde

The following is a personality profile of Oscar Wilde based on his work.

Oscar Wilde is boisterous, expressive and shrewd.

He is laid-back, he appreciates a relaxed pace in life. He is intermittent as well: he has a hard time sticking with difficult tasks for a long period of time. But, Oscar Wilde is also carefree: he does what he wants, disregarding rules and obligations.

More than most people, his choices are driven by a desire for discovery.

Considers helping others to guide a large part of what he does: he thinks it is important to take care of the people around him. He is also relatively unconcerned with tradition: he cares more about making his own path than following what others have done.
