Even though the author of Dorian Gray preached aestheticism as the ultimate goal of arts, his work does not converge to that conclusion.
Oscar Wilde, along with other artists belonging to the movement, claimed to believe art is done for art's sake. That, behind books, pictures and music, there shouldn't be a deeper meaning, a lesson to be taught and learned, any political positioning to defend or attack. Art was, thus, only supposed to be beautiful.
However, Wilde's character Dorian finds himself sinking in life for his lack of moral. Concerned only about his own youth and beauty, Dorian is incapable of loving and connecting to another human being. Consequently, everyone around him suffers and he becomes a dark and lonely soul, whose sins and real age are apparent in a picture of him painted by a friend.

<h3>What is conflict in a story?</h3>
- It is a disharmonious situation between the character and some elements.
- It is a combat between the protagonist and another element.
The external conflict takes place outside the protagonist's mind, that is, it is combat, a disharmonious situation between the character and an element present in the outside world. This element could be another character, a group of characters, or even an element of nature.
In the case of "Little Brother," the conflict occurs when the Department of Homeland Security accuses the protagonist of carrying out a terrorist attack in the city. As the Department of Homeland Security is formed by a group of people, we can say that this conflict is a man versus society type.
