Immersed in the memoirs of Dorian Gray

Back in the glory of literature, framed in the gothic horror of Oscar Wilde's work, which was published in 1890, it is already quite a long time but its essence is maintained in our present time, as this writer agglomerates its essence of filling his characters very characteristic of beauty and his lifestyle.

In the novel of the portrait of Dorian Gray in my opinion, shows us the rebelliousness of the essence of youth exercised by a young egocentric enthusiast, showing in the flesh his narcissism of his own self, very emblematic, as if the earth revolves around him with eccentric symbol of dirt vanguard, thus giving a current exercised in this character of hedonism in the seas of licentiousness, but we have following position according to in Educational Philosophy by Alejandro Tejeda Carpio, page 11, 2003:

Hedonism considers pleasure to be the end of all human action. Man is constantly driven by actions that give him pleasure or satisfaction.

Earlier in antiquity there were two classical schools of hedonism, formulated in Ancient Greece, under the approach of Cyrenaica and Epicureanism, its philosophical current focused on a position that sees pleasure as an end that to the being of the self of the individual or person has reached as far as possible to reach happiness. Continuing in the context of the novel the character Dorian Gray, regardless of the soul of his life and the damage to beings sea close with his affections harmed them, in offering his soul for immortality and external beauty, where everything entails a portrait of the mime Dorian Gray where his soul is trapped in the aging, hidden in the confines of oblivion of his house isolated from all view of the human being.

If you are a lover of this literature I hope you enjoy it here I leave you a very moving fragment taken from Oscar Wilde's Portrait of Dorian Gray, special edition of the national 2002, page 221:

On entering, they found, hanging on the wall a splendid portrait of their master, just as he had lately seen him, in all the wonder of his exquisite youth and beauty. Lying on the floor was a dead man, in formal dress, with a knife in his heart, he was worn, full of wrinkles and his face was repulsive, until they examined the ring he wore they did not recognize who he was.

We must be clear that the value of our life is priceless, the pride of being one is to be loved for what is as simple as that.
