All the gays of the Classics ever did, was to make pacts wth the devil, indulge in hedonism, and die dramatically

Dorian has a great day everyday. Basil only has a great day if Dorian looks at him.

the age-old discussion as to whether or not ben barnes was poor casting for dorian gray is incredibly funny to me like yes we know that dorian is supposed to look like an innocent blond cherub instead of a dark luciferian daddy long leg prince of sin because literature but it all comes down nitpicking in the end because i’m just sure that oscar wilde the man himself would have been salivating over ben every waking minute of his damn life if he were here

The Picture of Dorian Gray is literally 3 toxic gay best friends who have crushes on each other, but they’re all too afraid to outright admit it.

not to continue to bring up hamlet in the context of dorian gray but the parallels are soooo good i mean come on
dorian - hamlet: self-centered, unhealthily fixated on life, death, youth and how all things we hold dear die the quickest, bad at being nice to women
basil - horatio: gay, in love with the titular character, watching the person he lives for devolve into madness and pain without being able to help
sybil vane and her family - ophelia, laertes, polonius: literally their scenes together in the beginning before jim goes to australia are perfect parallels for laertes’ talking to ophelia before he goes to france. like, INSANELY similar. and then when sybil dies…
i also think it’s interesting that, of all the plays sybil performs in, she never plays ophelia. i could be wrong, but im like 80% sure that dorian never mentions her in hamlet.
lord henry is an interesting case because you could read him as rosencrantz/guildenstern, given his friendship with both basil and dorian, and i don’t disagree with that reading at all. but he sews the first seeds of doubt in dorian, he’s the reason dorian starts to freak out about the impermanence of youth. to me, he functions as the ghost. i mean, think of it:
basil/horatio meets henry/the ghost in the first scene, dorian/hamlet comes along and basil/horatio BEGS for him to be careful because he doesn’t want his best friend to suffer corruption. henry/ghost and dorian/hamlet have a private conversation which alters the latter’s outlook and mental state, and when he returns, he isn’t the same.
i’m so,,, i’m so normal about this.
also sybil’s suicide/not suicide. AGHHHHHHH

the best thing to do with classic lit is make it as homoerotic as possible

Hey sorry I told your boyfriend about the transience of his incredible beauty and opened his eyes to his true nature. Yeah he won't sit for you anymore and he's being weird about the portrait you painted of him even though it's your greatest work. Yeah no he comes with me to the club now and is always in search of new sensations. Oh and he found a girlfriend at the theatre don't even worry about it.
