  Macbeth and his wife show how bad the evil that can possess human souls is. But evil is not all powerful. On the one hand, Macbeth is the gloomiest of the great Shakespeare's tragedies; on the other hand, it's more encouraging than Hamlet, Othello or King Lear. In no other tragedy as in Macbeth the evil is confronted by so many people, and nowhere else they are so active.
  Shakespeare is the author of the world famous sonnets and plays: Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Macbeth and Othello, as well as comedies Twelfth Night, A Midsummer's Night Dream, Love's Labour's Lost, The Merry Wives of Windsor, The Two Gentlemen of Verona and As You Like It. William Shakespeare is the most performed playwright, the works of the great English poet have been on top of the world theatre stages for some centuries already.

  The Picture of Dorian Gray is a haunting exploration of beauty, morality, and the corrupting influence of unchecked desire. Oscar Wilde's only novel tells the story of Dorian Gray, a strikingly handsome young man who becomes the subject of a portrait by the artist Basil Hallward. Under the influence of the hedonistic Lord Henry Wotton, Dorian wishes for eternal youth, allowing the portrait to age and bear the marks of his sins instead of him.As Dorian descends deeper into a life of debauchery and moral corruption, his outward appearance remains flawless, but the portrait reflects the growing darkness of his soul. Wilde's masterful prose delves into themes of vanity, the duality of human nature, and the consequences of living without conscience.The Picture of Dorian Gray is both a captivating story and a profound meditation on art, morality, and the human condition. It remains one of the most celebrated works of English literature, resonating with readers across generations.
