am i insane for saying that the social network and the picture of dorian gray are insanely similar stories .
#dorian = mark#basil = wardo#henry = sean#the only change is that mark is the “artist” (coder) as opposed to wardo#but like . pure and wholesome and incredibly loving relationship between wardo (more experienced in the world and with money and shit) and#mark (completely oblivious little man who just Does Shit)#their world is crashed into by sean (even more experienced in the world and quite corrupt) who takes a liking to mark & starts advising him#including behind wardo's back#and wardo slowly (quickly) loses mark to sean who ultimately corrupts him to the point of mark and wardo's relationship being irreconcilable#and by the end mark feels regret and distances himself from sean#literally the plot of the picture of dorian gray#they just don't all fucking die#the social network#the social network (2010)#tsn#markwardo#tsn mark#tsn wardo#tsn sean#sean parker#mark zuckerberg#eduardo saverin#the picture of dorian gray#dorian gray#basil hallward#lord henry wotton#lord henry#harry wotton#academia#literature
