When Beauty Becomes a Curse
What would you sacrifice for eternal youth? In 1890, when Victorian London prized respectability above all else, Oscar Wilde dared to ask this dangerous question. His novel sparked immediate scandal-critics called it "poisonous," prosecutors later wielded it as evidence against him in court, and polite society recoiled in horror. Yet beneath the controversy lay something far more unsettling: a mirror held up to an entire civilization's hypocrisy. We live in an age of filters and cosmetic procedures, where youth culture reigns supreme and image crafting has become an art form. Wilde's only novel speaks to us now more urgently than ever, exposing the rot beneath beautiful surfaces and asking whether we, too, are hiding portraits in our attics.
