Literary Classic meme

Snatched from [livejournal.com profile] seaislewitch.

...I really didn't cheat. Honest!

XD







Which literature classic are you?




Oscar Wilde: The Picture of Dorian Gray. You are a horror novel from the world of dandies, rich pretty boys, art and aesthetics, and intellectual debates between ethical people and decadent pleasure-seekers. You value beauty and pleasure but realize their dangers, as well.

I thought the reason for the killings were that they were not allowed to laugh... :D
I don't want to write spoilers so I stop here ;) But you are right the description sounds a bit odd, as if they have not read the book, but only watched the movie... which is a bit cheesy:

Now that you mention it... It seems that it's too long ago that I read the novel.

[livejournal.com profile] sander123 is right: the victims were killed for trying to read Aristoteles' treatise on Comedy... I think the quiz makers meant to say that you are like William of Baskerville :D. Could have been worse, if you ask me :-).

Well, they were kept from knowing the truth about the fact that it is allowed to laugh, weren't they? ;)

Yes, with the tiny exception that theology isn't my thing at all, William of Baskerville is okay.
