Abstract
This paper uses Christopher Breward's discussion of the "dandy" and "dandyism" in London in 'Fashioning London.' The paper further compares the character, attitudes, and tendencies of the "dandy" to the romantic hero Evgeny in the Martha Fiennes' directed film of Pushkin's romantic melodrama, "Onegin."
From the Paper
"The rise to dominance of London as one of the world's fashion capitols equal to Paris, Milan and New York is chronicled by Christopher Breward in 'Fashioning London,' a work that maintains London's fashion has been most excitingly expressed on the streets. In his discussion of the dandy suit in chapter one, Breward demonstrates how fashion often characterizes a nation and culture. Breward's discussion of the dandy suit will be used to reveal how the author's views relate to the Martha Fiennes' directed film 'Onegin.' "

Abstract
The essay discusses Lord Goring who is socially "idle", yet ideal in terms of philosophy. Moreover, it describes Goring as the most interesting and outstanding persona in the play, his ambivalent behavior, and the change he goes through during the play, and why he could be considered Wilde's alter ego. The paper ends raising the question of whether or not Wilde has lost grip on this character. Did Wilde manipulate Goring's behavior in order to obtain the desired ending of the play?
