Basil Hallward and Lord Henry Wotton act as the "angel" and the "devil" on Dorian's shoulders throughout the novel. Basil is a kind artists, who only wishes to create the perfect art-piece in Dorian's honor, thinking him to be one of the most beautiful people there are. He also serves to keep Dorian on the right track, and to show him what the true values should be.
On the other hand, Wotton is a decadent aristocrat who only wishes to show Dorian there is more to life than he thinks. He introduces him to hedonism, and tells him that he should experience everything he can. Under his influence, Dorian loses his former self and falls deeper and deeper in decadence, ultimately destroying his life. <span />

Read the following excerpt from an article by a literary critic.
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

C. The theme is Paradise Lost, and the historical context is prior epic

poetry: The Iliad and Beowulf

Explanation:

Theme tells us what is the main preoccupation of the article, while the historical context is a period in history that serves us as a reference point for analysing the text.

Here, the critic deals with Milton's most famous work, an epic poem "Paradise Lost", explaining how it differs from epic poems written before it. From this, we can conclude that the theme of this article is "Paradise Lost".

Also, here, we are not directly given a specific year or an event that would suggest a historical period. But, the author compares Milton's poem to famous epic poems written previously. These poems represent an over a millennium long period of time, when all epic poems shared similar characteristics. Changing the focus of his poem, Milton broke from the epic tradition, whose representatives are The Iliad and Beowulf.

In this sense, we could say that the historical context here is prior epic poetry.
