Oscar Wilde's Opinions about Women

Oscar Wilde was a decisive man in his short life. He married in his thirty, he wrote Dorian Gray in his thirty-seven, and accused of being a homosexual in the same year. What was the big event in his life to make him a women-hater? Even tough he had two daughters and one son from his beautiful wife.

He said "No woman is a genius. Woman are a decorative sex. He must decided that after his marriage. He is also a hedonist, and aesthetist, so why did he break apart from his wife? He had already three children, an ex-lover, who was Lord Alfred Douglas, a decorative sex in his home who was a beautiful, stupid, new generation predictor.

He said in the same paragraph "Women never have anything to say, but they say it charmingly. Women represent the triumph of matter over mind, just as men represent the triumph of mind over morals." According to this phrase, he must be bored of his wife's materialism. He should be true about one thing that they lived in Victorian Era, that every women were spending much more money and unhealthy materials than today. She must got angry Oscar Wilde with her wishes which are unnecessary according to men. As a result, Oscar Wilde referred a purely beautiful man than a woman who endevours for it so much.

Consequently, no men should give up being with a woman just because of women's 'stupid' wishes or general reasons like women's acts which are beautiful, not genius according to Oscar Wilde.

Dorian Gray is an only REFLECTION!
When I hold this book, I see every time the soul of Oscar Wilde in those characters! He wrote book with the pieces of his broken soul. While you reading that you can find the clues to prove that idea. Let me explain that.

Dorian Gray is the major character of that book and he is very beautiful and young. Lord Henry is aged man but he is very clever and he is a sort of philosopher. Basil is a good man who is an artist and homosexual. These are the major properties of the characters that are in the book and all of them is in the high society in the west England.

They have connections and the conflicts because of their ideas and and willings. Dorian Gray is the purest one in the beginning like Oscar Wilde's soul but he is affected with the ideas of Lord Henry Who is hedonist and he sold his soul to devil and the picture and Dorian's soul exchanged the souls. Basil is the homosexual ones and he is an artist but he is more experienced than Dorian and he warned Dorian. Main idea was that; Lord Henry is an only director and he never lived the life that he tell. He is jelaus of Beauty but he never be the man like Dorian.

Every character has the piece of clues that belongs the Oscar Wilde. Some of them has a pressure of being homosexual some of them influenced the hedonistic ideas of Victorian England and the some fo them is the real wronged. He is the junction of every one of them.

Ha ha ha...

Why don't we commit suicide?

I asked that question to me and I think I found answer. We live because life is good. there are so many things that give us pleasure. We can do lots of orgiastic thing in our world. There is an one problem that mess beauties of life. Prohibitions prevent our desires. For that reason life become unnecessary but If we provide necessary conditions, everybody can be happy. Because people are ambitious and they try to make money. For what? To live comfortably. Money makes harder everything. if we try to find a criminal, I think criminal is money. Money is nothing because you don't buy love with money. As Sibly Vane say "Love is more than money"

People always think their futures but one day every persons going to die. If there are God, we should worship to go heaven. If there are no God, we will become a dust, after we die. I think there are no God because there are lots of human that suffered, thirsty, sad, poor or disabled. If God loves every human, why do we all take such pains to worship to him or her.

According to Lord Henry, we should satisfy our desires. We don,t commit suicide because we love because can booze, make love, fall in love, smoke, dance etc. We can do lots of thing although some of them are forbidden. to live is better than become a dust.

We live for nothing?!!

In the book The Picture of Dorian Gray which is written by Oscar Wilde, there is a sentence “There is no doubt that Genius lasts longer than Beauty. That accounts for the fact that we all take such pains to over-educate ourselves.” The idea about the comparing beauty and genius is not so important for me because each people can look that part in a different perspective. But I really do not understand the part "we all take such pains to over-educate ourselves". Pain to over-educate ourselves?!! That means we all educate ourselves in this life for nothing? ROFL!!! No way mate! If all we do is for nothing why we live? To be happy? To make other people happy? Go jump from a bridge then. Why not, you said we all take such pain to over-educate ourselves. If Oscar Wilde supports beauty and criticise the genius that means he live to see beautiful things. But if you do not open your eyes someone can do it for you with killing these good things.

"People say sometimes that Beauty is only superficial. That may be so. But at least it is not so superficial as Thought is." Same thing continuous in here. I think Oscar Wilde must think about the relation between genius and beauty. Beuty is temporary. We can not live for the thing that will disappear. Genius is not like that. Genius is all about your intellect and knowledge. You can improve it, you can read books, you can search, you can share your ideas with people. There is no limit!

Love at First Sight! (Such a big lie!!)

While I was reading the chapter that includes the opinions of Dorian Gray about Sibyl Vane, I felt that "love at first sight" will never exist. Dorian Gray really exaggerates his emotions about Sibyl Vane and this causes me to feel unwell. I will explain why, but at first I want to talk about Sibyl Vane, her first influence on Dorian Gray and reasons of that, on my side.

Mr. Gray starts to believe that "the search for beauty being the real secret of life" because of the influences of Lord Henry on himself. And then Mr. Gray tries to find the real beauty.

Dorian goes in an absurd theater by coincidence, and there is the play "Romeo & Juliet". Look at that chance! And also there is a dreadful orchestra, even Romeo is terrible. But let me give you an example from Dorian about Juliet:

"But Juliet! Harry, imagine a girl, hardly seventeen years of age, with a little flower-like face, a small Greek head with plaited coils of dark-brown hair, eyes that were violet wells of passion, lips that were like the petals of a rose. She was the loveliest thing I had ever seen in my life" (p. 61)

Look at these adjectives and compliments! How boring they are! Basically, these compliments are not for Sibyl Vane, these are for beauty that is searched by Mr. Gray, these are for Juliet, for Sibyl Imogen not for real Sibyl. Even Dorian Gray and Lord Henry express that, when Lord Henry asks that "When is she Sibyl Vane?", Mr. Gray replies: "Never!" (p.66).

He describes her as sacred and the finest actress he has ever seen. But I believe that this is because of the several trips to the theater, and the obsessions of Mr. Gray to find the real beauty not the real love or real woman that lives for him for years.

As a conclusion, I can say that I describe the future relationship between Dorian Gray and the Sibyl Vane will be the most dreadful relationship on my side. For a footnote, I will never believe the love at first sight, and I will never trust the existence of the trustworthy compliments without emotions and with obsessions .
