#i havent finished the book yet (close) but i dont think dorian will ever truly love anyone beside himself and that is his true curse

reading ppl talk about classic lit like it’s modern harlequin romance is…interesting. like i get u want to humanize the characters but i think we as a modern society just don’t have the same mindset that authors of the 1800s did so our interpretation of these characters is tainted by a modern lense. there are just certain behaviors, etiquettes, etc. that we don’t practice anymore that are so integral to the thought processes behind these characters. yes this is about queerness in dorian gray.
