Intentions

Wilde, an Irish poet and playwright, gained fame in the early 1890s as one of London's leading playwrights. Renowned for his sharp epigrams and theatrical works, he also authored the notable novel The Picture of Dorian Gray. His life was marked by controversy, culminating in a conviction for "gross indecency," which led to his imprisonment and premature death at 46. Wilde's legacy is defined by his literary brilliance and the tragic circumstances surrounding his downfall.
