The Picture of Dorian Gray

Beautiful and cruel is the bargain, and I would not leave it with a teen.

The review

Oscar Wilde's novel is adult, and I mean that as a door I keep shut. Dorian wishes a painting would bear his sins. It does. He stays beautiful and becomes cruel. I am not going to describe the cruelties. The painting is the bill he will not pay in his own face. That is the warning. It is also why the loveliness keeps pulling.

I would not hand this to a child who still thinks a lovely person is a safe one. Nobody here is doing a job that matters, and there is no marriage or child in the way of the wish. Read it yourself if you want the warning. Do not keep the beauty and skip the bill.

The glance

Industry and Household and Piety and Courage and Republic and Temperance and Stewardship are the thin ones.

Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?

Consider this

The Three Musketeers

34 instead of 26

The Three Musketeers is still a novel film, and it scores 34 instead of 26. What you gain is courage: They risk bodies they treat as sport, over a queen's diamonds.

The eight

2
Industry
No trade matters here; the portrait does the only work that shows.
1
Household
No marriage, parent, or child is a life in this story.
3
Piety
Conscience is parked in a painting, which cannot stop the wish.
2
Courage
He arranges not to wear the damage, so nothing dear is risked.
1
Republic
No neighbor, law, or town is owed a thing by this man.
2
Temperance
The wish lets him stay lovely while the sins keep arriving.
8
Truth
The face lies by staying beautiful; the painting keeps the bill.
2
Stewardship
What remains is a cruel man and a picture asked to age for him.

Their loyalty is a pleasure, and the bodies are still a game to them.

The review

The loyalty is the fun, and I don't quite trust the fun. A poor Gascon joins three men who live by the sword. A woman in the plot is hunted for a piece of jewelry, with a queen's diamonds in that trouble. A teen can read it. I wouldn't offer it as proof that friendship excuses the rest.

I was amused, then sour. The fighting pleases them. That isn't a reason your kid should be pleased the same way. Read it for the four if you read it. Before the jokes settle, say the bodies are a game to them.

The Hunchback of Notre-Dame is still a novel film, and it scores 44 instead of 34. What you gain is stewardship: The building outlasts the men who wreck one another.

Industry
Four men live by the sword, a game more than a trade.
3
Household
A woman is hunted for jewelry, not lived with as a household.

Their loyalty never makes them regret that bodies are a game.
5
Courage
They risk bodies they treat as sport, over a queen's diamonds.
4
Republic
The debt that holds is to the four, not to the town.
2
Temperance
The fighting is the pleasure, and nothing in them curbs it.
6
Truth
The four stay loyal while a woman is hunted for jewelry.
2
Stewardship
They leave a game of bodies and a woman still in the chase.
