Years of study

Oscar was the middle child in the family. His older brother William was born two years earlier than Oscar, and his sister Isola was born two years younger. The girl died at the age of ten due to inflammation of the brain. The children received an excellent education at home. They had German and French governesses. The first educational institution for the brothers was the Royal School of Portora, which was located in a small town near Dublin. Little Oscar was distinguished by his talent for reading and witty statements. Upon graduation at the age of 17, Wilde received a gold medal and was sent to Trinity College.

Oscar's love for ancient Greek culture, which began during his school years, was further developed in college. He is engaged in a detailed study of ancient history, aesthetics, and ancient languages. Gradually, Wilde begins to put all the knowledge he has gained into practice. His demeanor, clothing, craving for Hellenism, skepticism, self-irony - everything that made up his fame in the future was formed under the influence of the knowledge he acquired.
After three years, the promising student is sent to Oxford, where the style and image of Oscar Wilde as an impeccable dandy finally takes shape. One of the criteria for success for a young man even then is the formation of an aura of legend around his personality. He was never in a hurry to destroy all the incredible gossip and rumors that concerned his name.
