Oscar Wilde's Success at a Gothic Novel

In this article we will consider the success of Oscar Wilde in the creation of Gothic novels. I will use the picture of Edgar Allan Poe's short story "Arthur's cottage fall" and the movie Bramstalkers, Dracula and Dorian Gray. In this article we will consider the success of Oscar Wilde in the creation of Gothic novels. As a reference to Gothic, we use Edgar Allan Poe's short story "The fall of Usher's house" and the movie "Bram Stokers, Dracula" and the early version "Nosferatu".

The first piece called "Gothic Story" was Horace Walpole's Ontanto castle (Gothic novel / fiction 356) in 1764. In the 1890's Oscar Wilde's "Portrait of Dorian Gray" (1891) or Bram Stalker's "Vampire" (1897) revived the theme. In the 20th century, Gothic was achieved through media other than books, movies, television, dramas and musicals. Firstly, the Gothic story is usually "obsolete or seemingly outdated space" (Hogle 2). An example of this is a castle, old house, prison, laboratory or other similar place. In this space, there are usually some elements that bother the character. These harassment can be in any way, whether it is not important like a pure secret, or a more specific existence such as a ghost, a ghost, or a monster (Hogle 2). Therefore, the Gothic story often associates the reality of the earth with supernatural one and broadens the boundary between them, which can cross psychologically or even physically.

In Gothic novels, paintings often play an evil role. The first Gothic novel, Horace Walpole's Otranto Castle (1764), the vagrant Merumo written by Oscar Wilde's uncle Charles Matlin contains characters from paintings to reality (1820) Forgotten I will explain a portrait that I can not. It rotates around the room for the audience. The painting hidden in the attic of Dorian may be the most disturbing portrait in the wild book, but it is not the only canvas in this novel to point out Durian's behavior. At one point, Durian walked around his home gallery and saw a portrait of his ancestor: "those who are shedding blood". Saturn and sensual face gazed at him and Dorian reflected "some of the strange and toxic bacteria creeping up from body to body until reaching my body" (chapter 11). This idea seems to appear in many Gothic novels including wild novels.

Oscar Wilde's only novel "Portrait of Dorian Gray" (1891) is a good example of the late Victorian Gothic novel. Along with the strange incident of Robert Luis Stevenson, Jekyll and Hide (1886) and Bramstock Dracula (1897) show how they are exploring the darkest scene of the Victorian society I will. And the lurking private desire lags the public face. The novel also examines the relationship between art and reality, emphasizing the troubling interaction between ethics and aesthetics, and the relationship between the artist, his or her theme and the resulting image on the canvas .
