The thesis statement is a sentence that gives a summary of the main points of the essay, research or even a paper. It is developed, supported and explained in the piece through the use of the examples and the evidence as well. Thesis statement will provide a specific argument to guide the reader and make him know what he expects from the written essay. Thesis statement includes:

Thesis statement one: Exploring the many factors of masculinity

The Dorian Gray has three main characters with each character having a different version of attributes in the picture of Dorian Gray that is written by Oscar Wilde. The three main character includes Dorian,Basil, and Lord Henry. The three characters struggle to both greater level, in recognizing their versions of the masculinity using the social norms( Gray and Dorian).The three types of masculinity can be studied by comparing and contrasting them as well as identifying how they influence one another. For instance, does the three character present the ideal of gentlemen? Also, do they fit into their context of social history?

Thesis statement two: The nature of beauty

As soon as the opening of the Picture of Dorian Gray takes place, the essentials and the certainty of the life of the grace becomes evident immediately. The green description of the surroundings and the full observations concerning the characters of the picture of Dorian Gray. Also, there is the appreciation of the beautiful objects, people all signifying the beauty of the Novel( Kovalova ans Anna P 30).

Thesis statement three: Roles of the artist and art in the society

The presence of art and artist brings an essential concept in the essay,although art and beauty are related, they also differ in some idea.When making the arts, there are rich materials applied to show the attractions of the essay. Among the essential things to learn in the art and artist is plotting.For instance, why and how does the portrait changes after some time? What is the importance of the final scene where Dorian has a strong believe in himself in stabbing the portrait? And in which ways does he kill himself?

Thesis statement four: Development of the characters and maturity as well

In the essay, some characters portray likable characters in them while others, their roles do not deserve to be liked. The reason being some characters are mature and so making them develop the characters in them while others their characters cannot grow since they do not show maturity in them. In the essay, while applying the psychological perspectives, is there any reasons for Dorian’s perpetual immaturity? At what time and why Dorian got stuck? Could there be any evidence concerning the surroundings which is relevant in the building of the argument? What are the symptoms that show the delay in his development? With the situation can we conclude that Dorian is mentally ill? The theory of psychology will be necessary for solving this problem

Thesis statement 5: The cleverness of selection of literary devices

While selecting people who fit in the picture of the Dorian Gray, the following were considered. First, what is the name and how the names bring a clear meaning of the character in the essay( Quix and Mirja)? Also, what are the simple literary devices that are used by Wilde in the building of the characters, plotting and the theme as well? The tools mentioned earlier are appropriate in the essay since they help in choosing the right roles that will make the essay to have a flow in it as well as having a good taste as the reader is reading.

Considering my main aim in the picture of Dorian as the theme, with the help of thesis statement I will be able to deliver the work as per the required and also as well as maintaining all the relevant things needed for the composition of the essay.
