The Disappointing Views of Oscar Wilde

As my title suggests I do not like this book. Honestly I feel justified in my view of this book, because

it is missing a sense of moral standard, however this is not what the book is about. I found I the

beginning of the book was a preface which better answers the prompt then my guessing. This says

that Wilde believes the purpose of art is to reveal itself and conceal the artist. In the book there are

several characters who see art differently. In my opinion art is the expression of an artists feelings

and thoughts, they are there to inspire us. The story has no inspiration, it just seems depressing.
