The novel belongs to gothic literature which is characterized by the use of horror, decay and gloomy atmosphere. The novel establishes Wilde’s philosophy of art. Devoted to the school of thought of Aestheticism and a mode of sensibility, Wilde believed that art possesses an essential value. This attitude was revolutionary in Victorian England, where people believed that art was just a carrier of morality. Decadence could be argued to be a faith instead of an enlightenment movement, resulting in protests against realities, society and morals by means of the Fin de siècle corrupted life styles. Wilde was able to create the character of Dorian Gray who was responsible of his own destruction. The thesis will take as an issue whether Dorian’s decadence is only due to him being influenced by Lord Henry, or whether there are some underlying reasons. Through shedding light on the picture of Dorian gray, I claim that Dorian’s downfall is also the outcome of his vanity and his narcissism. I attempt to Test this hypothesis with the use of psychoanalytical approach to interpret the psyche of the main characters as well as to interpret the painting.I will equally provide textual analysis to reveal that Lord Henry’s bad influence on the protagonist was indeed behind his collapse, yet a narcissistic, selfish Dorian is also at the origins of his demise Diplome : Master 2 Permalink : https://bu.umc.edu.dz/master/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=6209 Decadence in oscarwilde’s the picture of dorian gray : Lord henry’s hedonism and dorian gray’s narcissism [texte imprimé] / Sara Belkhalfa, Auteur ; Imane Benkhelifa, Directeur de thèse . - CONSTANTINE [ALGERIE] : Université Frères Mentouri Constantine, 2015 . - 59 f. ; 30 cm.
