 唯美主义

Aestheticism [ˌi:sˌθetisizəm]

“Art does not imitate life, but living in imitating art.”艺术并非模仿生活，而是生活在模仿艺术。

1、 Dorian Gray is innocent and completely good. After seeing his own portrait, he admires his

own beauty and he is willing to give up everything if only he can be young forever. So

Dorian’s beauty is eternal. So the real life is no longer real. It is the reflection of art. Only in art, Dorian can be young forever. So Wilde is talking about the superiority of art and the beauty of real life is transient while the beauty of art is eternal.

2、 Dorian Gray falls in love with Sybil Vane. She is a young, beautiful and talented actress. Her

talent and beauty win Dorian’s heart. However, once Dorian and Sybil are engaged, her talent suddenly disappears. She loves Dorian so much and that her stage life seems to be

unimportant to her anymore. So this destroys Dorian's love for her, and he brutally dumps her.

For Dorian, the true beauty lies in art. So when the talented Sybil becomes a part of real life, he feels bored with her.

3、 Wilde said that “All the art is useless. It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People

are either charming or tedious.” So there is no good or bad in art. There is only beautiful or not. Art is useless. Art has nothing to do with morality. It does not mean that art is no use, but means that art should not be taken advantage of to make profit or something else. So that’s why Basil doesn’t want to exhibit his painting. Basil is morally good, but he cannot persuade Dorian into a morally good life. And his death is the symbol of beauty defeat morality.  神话原型
