Intentions

Oscar Wilde, an influential Irish poet and playwright, gained fame in the early 1890s for his sharp wit and engaging plays. Renowned for his epigrams and the novel "The Picture of Dorian Gray," he became a significant figure in London’s literary scene. His life was marked by tragedy, culminating in a criminal conviction for "gross indecency," which led to his imprisonment and untimely death at 46, casting a shadow over his artistic legacy.
