THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY (CH II) Oscar Wilde ~ ASMR Reading You To Sleep

The Picture of Dorian Gray, Chapter II

ASMR soft spoken reading of The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde, 1890. A soft rain and rolling thunderstorm has been added in the background to help you sleep, and feel comfort with symptoms of ptsd, insomnia, depression, and anxiety.

This channel is intended to provide you with a comfortable space to relax and fall asleep. I welcome all comments and suggestions for stories because this channel is meant for you, my darling.

Having recently suffered from depression and shutting down, I promise that I will do everything in my power to make this channel consistent and make our way through these wonderful classic stories.

Written as a philosophical novel, the story revolves around a portrait of Dorian Gray painted by Basil Hallward, a friend of Dorian’s and an artist infatuated with Dorian’s beauty. Through Basil, Dorian meets Lord Henry ‘Harry’ Wotton and is soon enthralled by the aristocrat’s hedonistic worldview – that beauty and sensual fulfillment are the only things worth pursuing in life. Newly understanding that his beauty will fade, Dorian expresses the desire to sell his soul, to ensure that the picture, rather than he, will age and fade. The wish is granted, and Dorian pursues a libertine life of varied amoral experiences while staying young and beautiful. All the while, his portrait ages and visually records every one of Dorian’s sins.

The Picture of Dorian Gray was censored in 1890 because of what was seen as its immoral sexual content that was deemed too vulgar for readers in the nineteenth century. Also, much of the content was considered sinful and illegal at the time.

As many of the larger channels noticed first, in November 2023, YouTube rolled out non-optional end-roll ads on all videos. Because this video is intended for you to relax and fall asleep, I’m hoping by adding this hashtag that YouTube becomes aware of the placement of ads on certain video types, like ASMR.

Video art and video animation are done by me using Canva, Movavi, and Motionleap tools.
