The Last Night Analysis Dorian Gray

The poem is pretty shocking at first. Watching and even depicting a lover’s dead body? For the most part, the last scene is the most impressive. He describes the worms as kissers who finish up his lover’s flesh, which is usually unfavorable and even frightening.

Since he seems to be too naive or young to directly handle the fear of being guilty himself, adherence to art and self-interpretation of it may be his only option, although it still cannot justify irrevocable
