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.

Nothing will happen. It's a myth. The myth of the one-page letter is so strong that I have heard people ask this question over and over again. Yes, it's true, a one page cover letter is what is considered to be a norm here, but if you have a good reason for exceeding it, I assume nothing will happen. Of course, it differs from place to place. Someone might just disregard it, looking at you as unprofessional because you exceeded the limit that they gave you, which was a test in itself. So it really depends more on the place. Hope this helps
