What she says: I'm fine.
What she means: In the first chapter of The Picture of Dorian Gray (1891), Henry says that yes, he is an immoral influence, because all influence is immoral as it is inauthentic and unnatural. If Dorian as he becomes may be said to be a product of the things Henry has said, then Dorian is inherently evil by Henry's own definition regardless of whatever else he does. In the first chapter Henry also says that he "likes persons without principles better than anything else in the world." Since Dorian has no principles, Henry loves him, and it thus follows that Henry loves evil. He makes no claims to the contrary, in fact he repeatedly makes references to his lack of morals. But that's not quite true-- never once in the entire book does Henry do anything actively harmful, he only stands on the sidelines and offers encouragement. It's not clear that he even comprehends the extent to which Dorian is a true monster. He pretends at being amoral and immoral but doesn't have it in him to do the things that Dorian has nerve to do. He is a pretender, and man acting a part not written for him and thus, by his own logic, immoral. But if he is immoral, then he is not pretending at being immoral. If he is not pretending at something, then he is not immoral. The moral of The Picture of Dorian Gray is that Edgelords (TM) are as evil as they say they are while at the same time being sinless by virtue of having sinned. The secondary moral is that Lord Henry Wotton is a pretentious idiot.

Sunday study session with my bestie 💕
Returned to my dorm yesterday. I just couldn’t concentrate on my paper with my family and friends around. Hopefully I’ll finish it until the deadline.

Sunday!☁️ I woke up pretty early this morning at 6.50am. A quick breakfast and then I started my assignments. I wrote two history essays, a 2 pages essay about the media violence for media literacy and a 16 pages test for my elective English class.💼📑🏺
