Why is this not appropriate? I think Derek “nailed it” so to speak… :-)

Well, this is just stupid. Dorian Gray is a fictitious character created by Oscar Wilde. To the best of my knowledge, Wilde wasn’t schizophrenic and thus, probably knew that a fictional character isn’t going to reciprocate any sort of feelings he has.

I was just reading about Wilde today. His inapprioprate quotations about women. His homosexuality and all. What a coincidence to find this

Juli, I’m pretty sure that the assignment was of that nature, in other words the teacher required the student to write a letter from a creator to their character. I’ve had these types of assignments before and recognized the format. And really it seems pretty appropriate to me…

Juli,

I think you may perhaps be the stupid one for failing to realize the humor of the letter. It is a poem. Do poems always need to be non-fiction? Pull your head out of your ass.

I second Megan’s statement. You are truly a moron. The poem was not insinuating that Wilde was schizophrenic. Authors will often base characters off of not only people they know, but people they wish to know. Wilde was a homosexual, and based Gray off of his picture of the ideal man.

Therefore, not only are you a freaking idiot for not realizing the humour in this, but also for not comprehending what Wilde or Zhao were trying to convey.
