Wilde. The opening of this work introduces a detailed analysis of the concept of the "spoiled baby," a metaphor for individuals who have been overly pampered and have consequently developed a sense of superiority and entitlement. Pérez de Ayala articulates the psychological implications of this condition, likening it to Wilde himself, who, despite his genius, fell into contradictions and excesses. The text reflects on Wilde’s experiences, particularly his downfall, presenting his artistic endeavors in the context of societal views of morality and the complicated dynamics of personal identity and creative expression. This initial portion sets the stage for a broader discussion on the interplay between art, life, and moral implications within society. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
