The Irishman Oscar Wilde said that the first person to compare a woman to a flower is a genius, the second person to compare a woman to a flower is a mediocre person, and the third person to compare a woman to a flower is a fool.

On November 30, 1900, the impoverished Oscar Wilde passed away quietly in Paris. Today, 100 years later, the British Library held a memorial exhibition for Wilde, and France published "Wilde's Photo Album". Wilde represented the British "aesthetic school" and advocated art for art's sake, claiming that his life itself would be a work of art. In a sense, he succeeded, and his life can be regarded as "legendary". His personal life is a typical "gongzi brother" style. When entering and leaving high society, his speech and clothing are equally outstanding, and of course there is the frivolity and affectation of the salon. The difference is that he dares to flaunt his amorality, create scandals and take pleasure in it. Of course, those scandals are also relative to the times. Britain's "Victorian Era" is now a symbol of moral hypocrisy. His works also have a lot of salon style, which may have something to do with the readers' tastes. Wilde was immoral, but his scandals and cynicism could please readers. Behind the frivolity in Wilde's works, we can often see boredom with the world. When you are alive, treat death as if it has never existed, and when you die, treat it as if there has never been life. This may be his view of life. This detached attitude may be what he is after. Wilde's ending is not salon-style. He fell hopelessly in love with the son of the Marquis of Kingsbury, and was brought to court by the Marquis. The crime is not homosexuality, but immorality. That is to say, Wilde led young people astray with his works. Wilde was sentenced to two years of hard labor and deprived of his property for indecency. After he was released from prison, he had deserted all his relatives, and only two French friends were still willing to help him. Wilde spent the rest of his life with alcohol and died at the age of 46.
