Handling:<\/strong> ”Dorian Gray. S\u00e5 ung, s\u00e5 vacker, s\u00e5 of\u00f6rst\u00f6rd. Det syns inte minst p\u00e5 portr\u00e4ttet som Dorians gode v\u00e4n, konstn\u00e4ren Basil Hallward m\u00e5lar av honom. N\u00e4r den cyniske och kvicke lord Henry Wotton h\u00e5ller ett tal f\u00f6r Dorian Gray om ungdomens \u00f6verg\u00e5ende prakt, s\u00e5r detta ett fr\u00f6 i Dorian: han inser att han sakta men s\u00e4kert kommer att \u00e5ldras, vissna och f\u00f6rtvina. \u00c4r detta oundvikligt eller g\u00e5r det till n\u00e5got pris att undvika? Och \u00e4r Dorian i s\u00e5 fall villig att betala det priset?.” <\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

M\u00e5nadens klassiker f\u00f6r juli (med en liten tjuvstart f\u00f6r jag kunde inte v\u00e4nta med att l\u00e4sa boken). Och vilken bok! Jag hade h\u00f6ga f\u00f6rv\u00e4ntningar p\u00e5 den och alla besannades. Var ska man ens b\u00f6rja?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boken har s\u00e5 m\u00e5nga lager och synvinklar. Man kan analysera Dorian Gray, en vacker men l\u00e4ttp\u00e5verkad ung man som influeras av lord Henry Wotton. Ibland st\u00f6ter man p\u00e5 m\u00e4nniskor som f\u00f6r\u00e4ndrar ens liv, vilket Henry gjorde f\u00f6r Dorian. Allt som Henry s\u00e4ger \u00e4r utomordentligt sant, sp\u00e4nnande och filosofiskt. Det h\u00e4r f\u00e5r Dorian att t\u00e4nka till. Han sv\u00e4ljer i princip allt som Henry s\u00e4ger. Henry f\u00f6rst\u00e5r och m\u00e4rker vilket inflytande han har p\u00e5 Dorian och finner en slags njutning i det.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHumanity takes itself too seriously. It is the world’s original sin. If the cave-man had known how to laugh, History would have been different.\u201d <\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Basil Hallward, konstn\u00e4r, blir ocks\u00e5 v\u00e4ldigt betagen av Dorian. N\u00e4r han avbildar Dorian blir tavlan hans st\u00f6rsta m\u00e4sterverk. Om Basil hade en musa s\u00e5 vore det Dorian. Dorian \u00f6nskar att han vore lika ung och of\u00f6rst\u00f6rd som han \u00e4r i detta nu. Hans r\u00e4dsla (frammanat av Henry) att \u00e5ldras f\u00e5r \u00f6desdigra konsekvenser i hans liv.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Som sagt kunde man diskutera varje karakt\u00e4r i den h\u00e4r boken och s\u00e4kert ha olika s\u00e4tt att tolka dem och deras g\u00e4rningar. F\u00f6r mig \u00e4r det ett tecken p\u00e5 ett m\u00e4sterverk. Jag beundrar Oscar Wilde f\u00f6r alla klokheter han skrivit i boken, jag skulle kunna citera sida upp och sida ner, men jag sl\u00e4nger in n\u00e5gra s\u00e5 att ni f\u00e5r en bild av hans f\u00f6rfattarskap:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

”Words! Mere words! How terrible they were! How clear, and vivid, and cruel! One could not escape from them. And yet what a subtle magic there was in them! They seemed to be able to give a plastic form to formless things, and to have a music of their own as sweet as that of viol or of lute. Mere words! Was there anything so real as words?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have grown to love secrecy. It seems to be the one thing that can make modern life mysterious or marvelous to us. The commonest thing is delightful if only one hides it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. Resist it, and your soul grows sick with longing for the things it has forbidden to itself, with desire for what its monstrous laws have made monstrous and unlawful.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLife is a question of nerves, and fibres, and slowly built-up cells in which thought hides itself and passion has its dreams. You may fancy yourself safe and think yourself strong. But a chance tone of colour in a room or a morning sky, a particular perfume that you had once loved and that brings subtle memories with it, a line from a forgotten poem that you had come across again, a cadence from a piece of music that you had ceased to play\u2026 I tell you, that it is on things like these that our lives depend. \u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dorian Grays portr\u00e4tt<\/em> platsar i topp 3 av mina b\u00e4sta klassiker, i s\u00e4llskap av Anne p\u00e5 Gr\u00f6nkulla och Jane Eyre. En ny favorit! Jag vill absolut l\u00e4sa flera b\u00f6cker av Wilde.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
