hi! Here are some things i found that might be relevant:

If you’re writing about beauty and value, you could talk about aesthetics vs ethics/morality.

quotes you could use on aestheticism and beauty/youth:
-'you have the most marvellous youth, and youth is the one thing worth having' - lord henry
- 'i am jealous of everything whose beauty does not die' - lord henry
- 'without art you are nothing' – dorian gray
- 'it is only shallow people who do not judge by appearances' - lord henry
- ‘but beauty, real beauty, ends where an intellectual expression begins. Intellect is in itself a mode of exaggeration, and destroys the harmony of any face.’ - lord henry
- ‘an artist should create beautiful things, but should put nothing of his own life into them.’ – basil
- ‘you had brought me something higher, something of which all art is but a reflection.’ - sibyl
- ‘you are more to me than all art can ever be.’ – sibyl

(as well as beauty/youth/ and value)

you could use some of these points to evaluate your question

thank you sm!!!!!

Ok so, I'm doing my second NEA essay right now and I've chosen to do Dorian Gray and I'm exploring it in relation to the Beauty & Value lens. My question that I decided on with my teacher is 'How far is it possible to argue that Wilde's novel is ENTIRELY VALUEABLE'.
Problem is i have no idea where to go with this????? Does anybody have any points i can talk about that you did?

I know that one of my points is going to be about how it talks about philosophical and moral subjects. And another point will be about his language BUT I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO ACTUALLY DO WITH THESE POINTS???????? LIKE WHICH QUOTES? WHAT TO WRITE LMAO
