The Picture of Dorian Gray (Norton Critical Edition)

Oscar Wilde

Dorian Gray is a symbolic idea of current people who wishes to cheat the natural process of aging. Yes, he got what he wanted but the price that he has to pay for it is nonetheless very demeaning and evil.Would you rather stay young forever but live in pool of guilt and damnation.I guess it is true what people said about being careful of what you wishes for it might comes true and in the end you will regret it for the rest of your life.....

Portrait of an Unknown Woman: A Novel

Vanora Bennett

Initially, the storyline is a bit mundane. About love, family and all the obstacles that they have to face in order to be together.Though I thought after they got married, they will live happily ever after but I was mistaken as I was dragged into another phase of life filled with secrets and how this woman has to handle it.Accepting a truth was never easy, trying to forgive and forget is another thing. Would it be easy to look into a person face whom she love and adored without any prejudice of the mistakes that he has done.Life is always full of surprises and sometimes we thought that we know who we are, yet we are still capable of doing things that we thought we are incapable of.
