Keywords:
gothic literature, depicted, plot, historical, creating, crime, youth beauty.Abstract
This article aims to illustrate the gothic literature formed by the classical literary form of the gothic novel, which developed in England in the last quarter of the XVIII century. The contrasts of the authentic, reasonable, reality-oriented life depicted in the works of various writers with a world freed from everyday life to fantastic, with a gloomy flavor and plot, fanned by historical romance, and gothic atmosphere. Oscar Wilde undoubtedly occupies a place among writers who have devoted himself to the gothic creating skills by his novel "The Portrait of Dorian Gray", in which an outlandish portrait has been aging for many years instead of a man wallowing in all possible vices and crimes, but not losing his youth beauty and freshness. The novel is examined the relationship between art and reality, emphasized the complex relationship between ethics and aesthetics, as well as the relationship between the artist, subject and the resulting image on canvas.
