Wilde put too much of himself in it.

This book is so good on so many levels. Not only is the novel a dark and interesting thriller, but Wilde weaves a moral code throughout which can’t help to change your outlook.

El retrato de Dorian Gray es la versión trucha de El Túnel, una historia de degradación moral enfocada en las consecuencias de que el nihilismo y los placeres efímeros ocupen tu vida.

“El retrato de Dorian Gray es la versión trucha de El Túnel, una historia de degradación moral enfocada en las consecuencias de que el nihilismo y los placeres efímeros ocupen tu vida.

Eventualmente todo te pasara por encima, lo que me parece una correcta afirmación, además de que la metáfora del cuadro aparte de soporte narrativo esta cargado de grandes alegorías que buscan darle peso a lo que quiere trasmitir.

Mi problema es que el resto es un choto, con personajes básicos y una trama que se hace muchas paltas y hasta llega a extremos innecesarios para tratar un mensaje que aunque correcto peca de innecesariamente largo.

Mas que ahondar entorpece, especialmente porque la gran mayoría o llega a contar como relleno o recae en los mismos puntos.
