I suppose I should start using the english language instead of something else and hoping everyone would understand.... but what I mean by my comment is interesting it was that they chose to do that. And I'm not entirely sure that Dorian was completely based off of Bosie because Dorian was published the same year as Wilde met him, I don't know actual dates but they were both in 1981. I'm sure there was some overlap with the tantrums, but usually it takes one longer than a year to write a novel, yes? Plus Dorian (to me at least) comes across as a vicious bastard, and it seems that Wilde wouldn't make his love that gross of a person.
