Who wrote The Picture of Dorian Gray?

  1. Emily Bronte

  2. Jane Austen

  3. Emily Dickinson

  4. Oscar Wilde

The correct answer is: Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde wrote The Picture of Dorian Gray. The other options are incorrect because they are all female authors and lived during the same time period, but none of them wrote this particular novel. Emily Bronte wrote Wuthering Heights, Jane Austen wrote Pride and Prejudice, and Emily Dickinson was primarily a poet. Oscar Wilde, on the other hand, was a male novelist, playwright, and poet who is best known for this work.
