| Abstract: | In the present article we focus on Oscar Wilde’s novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, employing in our analysis Freud’s theory of personality that brings to the foreground the separation of the psyche into id, ego, and super-ego. The Wildean character we concentrate on is Lord Henry Wotton, the tempter advocating decadent hedonism as the principle of life lived as art. |
