I couldn’t get into it. So much pretentious long-winded dialogue. Like the author was trying to sound deep by having Henry have something philosophical to say about absolutely everything and basically have everyone around him slow clap every time when it really was just pompous drivel

Lord Henry represented how Oscar Wilde thought other people saw him. Basil was closer to how he saw himself.

I loved Lord Henry, personally. I don't think he took himself at all seriously, and was amused that other people did, when really his only goal was to entertain himself.
