Dorian Gray and Jay Gatsby are diametric opposites. Featuring evidence.

Welcome to the first episode of my academia podcast! Today we will be focusing on Rappaccini's Daughter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, a short story for which I have a long review. This podcast will discuss the style and story, as well as elements of literature that have similar thematic ideas as Nathaniel's work Warning: spoilers ahead for Stephen Sondheim's Sweeney Todd: the Demon Barber of Fleet Street,  Theodora Goss' The Athena Club series, Netflix's Daybreak, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, H. G. Wells' The Island of Doctor Moreau, and Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray.  Have a lovely day, my splendid academics. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
