Oscar Wilde is a famous Irish poet, playwright, and writer. In 1895, he was convicted of "gross indecency" and sentenced to two years of hard labor. "De Profundis" is a letter from prison to Lord Alfred Douglas, a close friend of Wilde's who played a key role in his imprisonment. The text of the letter is not only filled with bitterness and disappointment but also reveals the depth of the poet's feelings towards Douglas. In addition, the letter reflects Wilde's reevaluation of his philosophy of pleasure and views on the role of suffering in human life.
