Marianne, Wilde's description of his lover Lord Alfred Douglas...that even resembles THE GUARDIAN article you posted on another Q, the syndrome of the narcissistic personality, and how they psychologically entrap and abuse their victims.
Apparently, Lord Alfred had such a hate for his father that he intimidated Wilde into suing the father for libel, when the charges (homosexuality) were for that era perfectly true! So Wilde lost, of course, and then went to prison, finally dying age only 46...Lord Alfred thoroughly callous, throughout.
