Memento Mori
By Jonathan Nolan
“What like a bullet can undeceive!” —Herman Melville
Your wife always used to say you’d be late for your own funeral. Remember that? Her little joke because you were such a slob—always late, always forgetting stuff, even before the incident.
Right about now you’re probably wondering if you were late for hers.
You were there, you can be sure of that. That’s what the picture’s for—the one tacked to the wall by the door. It’s not customary to take pictures at a funeral, but somebody, your doctors, I guess, knew you wouldn’t remember. They had it blown up nice and big and stuck it right there, next to the door, so you couldn’t help but see it every time you got up to find out where she was.
The guy in the picture, the one with the flowers? That’s you. And what are you doing? You’re reading the headstone, trying to figure out who’s funeral you’re at, same as you’re reading it now, trying to figure why someone stuck that picture next to your door. But why bother reading something that you won’t remember?
She’s gone, gone for good, and you must be hurting right now, hearing the news. Believe me, I know how you feel. You’re probably a wreck. But give it five minutes, maybe ten. Maybe you can even go a whole half hour before you forget.
But you will forget—I guarantee it. A few more minutes and you’ll be heading for the door, looking for her all over again, breaking down when you find the picture. How many times do you have to hear the news before some other part of your body, other than that busted brain of yours, starts to remember?
Never-ending grief, never-ending anger. Useless without direction. Maybe you can’t understand what’s happened. Can’t say I really understand, either. Backwards amnesia. That’s what the sign says. CRS disease. Your guess is as good as mine.
Maybe you can’t understand what happened to you. But you do remember what happened to HER, don’t you? The doctors don’t want to talk about it. They won’t answer my questions. They don’t think it’s right for a man in your condition to hear about those things. But you remember enough, don’t you? You remember his face.
This is why I’m writing to you. Futile, maybe. I don’t know how many times you’ll have to read this before you listen to me. I don’t even know how long you’ve been locked up in this room already. Neither do you. But your advantage in forgetting is that you’ll forget to write yourself off as a lost cause.
Sooner or later you’ll want to do something about it. And when you do, you’ll just have to trust me, because I’m the only one who can help you.
EARL OPENS ONE EYE after another to a stretch of white ceiling tiles interrupted by a hand-printed sign taped right above his head, large enough for him to read from the bed. An alarm clock is ringing somewhere. He reads the sign, blinks, reads it again, then takes a look at the room.
It’s a white room, overwhelmingly white, from the walls and the curtains to the institutional furniture and the bedspread. The alarm clock is ringing from the white desk under the window with the white curtains. At this point Earl probably notices that he is lying on top of his white comforter. He is already wearing a dressing gown and slippers.
He lies back and reads the sign taped to the ceiling again. It says, in crude block capitals, THIS IS YOUR ROOM. THIS IS A ROOM IN A HOSPITAL. THIS IS WHERE YOU LIVE NOW.
“Memento Mori” by Jonathan Nolan **ANSWER ALL PARTS OF EACH QUESTION! Some have several parts. They can be tricky! 1. Who is the first person speaker in the story? How is that person connected to Earl? 2. The last sentence in Paragraph Ten reads, in part, “I’m the only one who can help you.” What sort of hel is being suggested here? 3. Where does Earl wake up? What kind of place is this? Why is he there? 4. What is Earl’s physical injury, and what proof is there of that injury? 5. Toward the end of the second long italicized section, the narrator relates, “The last thing you remember. His face. His face and your wife, looking to you for help.” Explain what this refers to and how it might affect Earl, especially given his circumstances.. 6. Earl’s alarm clock goes off at 3:20 am. There are keys taped to the back of his hand, a roll of hundred dollar bills in his jacket, and a letter in a sealed envelope. Explain briefly what’s going on in this scene? Notice that the scene ends with Earl going back to bed in spite of the ominous warning sign taped to the ceiling above his head. Why do you think he does that? 7. In the third italicized section the following sentence appears: “Lists are the only way out of this mess.” What is the point of lists in our lives? Explain whether or not lists are Earl’s only way out. B. Explain the use of tattooing and of the bell as methods employed by Earl to cope with his problems. 9. The end of the second-to-last italicized section reads, “I’ll be gone in a moment. I’ll put down the pen, close my eyes, and then you can read this through if you want.” What kind of existence is this and how would this sort of existence affect the psychological and physical self?

For this lesson, read the book- The Picture of Dorian Gray, by Oscar Wilde
In Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray, vain Dorian Gray has “sold himself to the devil for a pretty face.” While Dorian remains young, his portrait ages and reflects his self-indulgent lifestyle, as he pursues a “madness of pleasure” with little regard for anyone else. Oscar Wilde’s controversial
The Picture of Dorian Gray
has become a classic commentary on selfishness, decadence, and the wages of sin — told in a thoroughly enjoyable novel full of suspense and surprise.
Anti-heroes in the literature of the time were popular with the public, especially during the 18th-19th centuries. What could have been going on that would cause authors to use these types of protagonists in their writings?
Oscar Wilde
Wilde lived from 1854-1900. He lived during the Victorian Age. He is still well-known for his works of
The Importance of Being Earnest
, still performed on stage, and his novel,
The Picture of Dorian Gray
.
He was born in Dublin, in a household in which both parents were very intellectual. At first, he was homeschooled by a tutor hired by his parents. Eventually, he went to boarding school and studied at Oxford University.
Wilde was very popular among writers and artists of his day, being considered the wit of the town. Wilde’s ideas, mode of dress and attitudes, were very flamboyant. He wrote poetry, novels and was mainly known for his plays.
He was extremely smart. He was, as we’d say here, the “belle of the ball’ in that to be his friend was quite prestigious in the “in crowd.”
Oscar Wilde’s undoing was to be accused, tried, and convicted of homosexual acts. This was against the law in the UK (and most of western Europe and America) and he was sentenced to several years of hard labor. When he left prison, he did not return to England but went to France. As he spoke French, along with other continental languages fluently, and had friends there, he felt at home.
He wrote about his time in prison in a long letter,
de Profundis
, in which he described his spiritual journey during that time. He died penniless in France, having converted on his death bed to Roman Catholicism.
Catholicism
The Catholic Church, when it lost its power, lost the role of being a social safety net for millions of British. The poverty was on such a scale that no one could have put an end to it. However, that poverty had grown exponentially since Henry VIII had drawn and quartered the monks, priests, and nuns who refused to give up the Catholic Church as they knew it.
The monasteries (both monks and nuns) were sanctuaries. They comprised a social safety net for the poor, mostly in the country. They provided what health care was available to the people, a comfortable place to die if the person was dying, a stopping-off place for the pilgrim or traveler, and, in addition, they owned huge tracts of land. This land was tilled by the villagers who lived nearby, who would have otherwise not have had enough to eat because their own private farms were not enough to keep them going all year.
Even in the city, the Church offered a haven for many of the poor. Bishop Fisher, otherwise known as St. John Fisher or Cardinal Fisher, kept as many of the poor in his house as there was room. These people ate the same food as he did, slept in comfortable, dry, and warm surroundings, and if they could they helped out in the house. If they could not help, then he required nothing of them.
It was noted that, after the English Reformation was settling into becoming the Church of England, crime in the cities rose exponentially, as did begging. Finally, the people in power figured it out. The monasteries were gone. The Catholic churches had been taken over by the Church of England. The COE had never taken the need for a social safety net into question. This is not to say that people of the COE then or now were and are not compassionate. Actually, the COE does many, many things in the country that meet the needs of the poor. At the time, however, the lack of monasteries was not truly replaced by an equivalent form of network. Therefore, people were much poorer than before and this contributed to the ever-growing poverty during the Industrial Revolution.
Getting back to the Catholic social net being gone, the rulers of England decided to built poor houses. However, the taxpayers had to keep the poor houses going. This was far different from the Church giving succor to the poor. The poor houses became, in essence, death houses. The inmates were fed so little, were given very little in clothing to keep them warm, and worked so hard that usually, the only way out was death. It was not that the taxpayers meant to hurt these people. But, how many times have you heard an adult saying, “I don’t want to pay my hard-earned money for people to sit around and do nothing?” That was the general idea with the poor houses. The poor, if they wanted not to be poor, could get off their duffs and do something with themselves.
Victorian Age
In Great Britain, during the Victorian Age, there was great progress in many areas: science, math, engineering, industry, agriculture and medicine.
Great wealth accompanied this progress. At the same time, the United Kingdom of Great Britain was known as the empire on which the sun never set. Indeed, this was true. The British had moved into every continent in the world, taking their civilization with them and ruling the areas where they were. Along with this progress, however, was great agony. To fill the new factories full of workers, the employers recruited many people who would not have otherwise had work at all. Although there were exceptions, most of these people were paid very low wages. Children as young as age five had to work because the families were so poor. The work hours were very long, which often proved fatal to the children, who needed their sleep and thus fell asleep at their posts and were either maimed (doomed to beg from then on) or killed by the machinery.
Pay such as this is known as a slave wage. The people are not really slaves, but they are paid such a low wage that they cannot save up money to attempt another career and are trapped as much as any true slave might have been.
Tenements were crammed with too many of the impoverished workers – one apartment often meant for one family would be crammed with several. Hygiene definitely suffered. Plagues were common as a result.
Even if these people could have saved money most of them were unskilled and illiterate. Therefore, they could do nothing else – factory workers did not have to be skilled or be able to read. They just had to do what they were told.
Also, the class structure in Europe, UK included, was fairly rigid. It was a leftover from the feudal system that had existed in Europe. The class structure did not leave a lot of room for movement upward and the upper classes could be quite snobbish about it and determined to keep the lower classes “in their place”.
We cannot damn the entire upper class of the UK nor the people in power (the House of Commons, the real power behind the throne – made up of non-nobility). Through their actions, many parks were built across the UK for the general public – to give those trapped in the slums as well as those who lived in the better parts of town, the chance to experience at least a tiny part of nature and to be able to relax. Engineers built sewage systems that helped to sweep away from the population the wastes that were causing water-borne diseases. Soup kitchens were opened. Cookbooks for the middle class and the poor were written, keeping in mind the money that could be spent on which food items and so to get the most nutritious food for whatever one’s financial situation allowed. Oscar Wilde’s own father opened a hospital for the poor at his own expense.
The style of acceptable Victorian behavior was prudish. I say “prudish”, because instead of saying the word “leg” they would use “limb”. “Leg” was considered too suggestive of what lay on top of the leg. This is why we have sofas and chairs with skirts, covering the legs. Now it is just a fashion. But back then it was to cover the “suggestive leg” of the chair. Queen Victoria’s influence is what caused this. As a young woman, newly married to her beloved husband, she was vivacious and happy. He died young and she retreated into bitterness and almost seclusion.
Dorian Gray
The main character of The Picture of Dorian Gray is an “anti-hero”. There is nothing courageous, empathetic, self-sacrificing, or even just “nice” about him. These are the traits attributed to heroes.
Oscar Wilde’s toward society and the rigid class system was sarcastic at best and scathing at worse. So he created an anti-hero to show especially the upper classes for what he thought them to be.
The first anti-hero in literature was Eugen Onegin, written several times during the early 19th century and the final version appeared in 1837. It was written by Alexandr Pushkin in Russia. In Russia, the rigidity of class structure was even stronger than in the UK, where at least a poor man could scrape together enough money to get a ticket for steerage in a ship headed for one of the many new worlds: America, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia. In Russia, at the time of Pushkin, serfdom had not yet been abolished and when it was, the people were still financially serfs.
Most noblemen and women had nothing but disdain for anyone who would get his hands dirty by engaging in it – BUSINESS.
So what was left for the nobility? The old feudal system was long dead. Back during that time, it was the nobility’s obligation to protect the serfs, and the serfs provided for the nobility in the way of work. This was abolished many centuries ago. However, there were many civil wars to be fought to put one’s man onto the throne. The nobility was crucial – the knights and lords in battle – for these struggles. However, there had not been a struggle for the throne in several centuries. The nobility was becoming obsolete.
As mentioned, many wealthy and/or people of nobility did much good. Prince Albert, Victoria’s late husband, was a known philanthropist before his untimely death at the age of 42.
Meaning Behind the Book
The book is so straightforward that you can find the meaning very quickly without a deep analysis of every character. Life has value only when a person lives not for himself alone, but for others as well. Youth and beauty are here today and gone tomorrow. However, the virtues such as purity of heart, kind nature, lack of vanity (Dorian did not know he was so good looking until he looked at the finished portrait), and so on. What would you do if you could live forever, never show age and a portrait took the brunt of everything you did? Would you devote yourself to good causes? Would you become a degenerate? Or would you simply be in the middle – doing good things and every now and again pulling a dirty deed with the knowledge that it’s ok, it’s a one-off and it won’t show on you?
The bad thing about a one-off is that it can hurt others and, if you get away with it, it leads to more one-offs to the point that they are no longer one-offs. The temptation is too great to do what we want if we can get away with it.
We can say that Dorian, even if he had dedicated his life to doing good but still had broken Sybil’s heart the way he did – he still was the cause of two deaths, even though he did not mean for them to happen – Sybil’s suicide and her brother’s accidental death as he stalked Dorian. The accident occurred and Dorian was safe because the consequences of Dorian’s actions bounced off of him and back on to the person (in this case, who wished him harm).
Dorian was not a “bad person” per se. He was a flawed human being, who was offered eternal life and the chance to live it, however, he pleased without facing the consequences himself. Over the years, he sank further and further into degeneration because he became callous. Also, and you can see the hints all through the book – how Dorian would study something, tire of it and then turn to something else, tire of it… he was bored. Nothing truly amused him anymore. He had grown callous – it didn’t bother him that he might have ruined reputations anymore because his actions didn’t affect him directly.
However, that very callousness, the greed for more and more adventure, the shallow desire to preserve his beauty and youth above all things, and the selfishness which developed in him did have consequences of which he did not realize. He stopped truly enjoying life – it bored him and he continued to sink further into a sordid life because what amused him before no longer did. Therefore, he sought more thrills and those thrills were to be found, he believed, in doing more and more that was unspeakable in society.
And who is Lord Henry Wotton? Is he the devil incarnate who lures Dorian into this lifestyle? He plants the seed when the portrait has been painted. Dorian, who had never thought about aging or losing beauty before, now begins to fear it.
Basil is the catalyst for the story. If he had never painted the portrait, Dorian would have been left to his innocent lifestyle, probably married and had children, and lived a normal and happy life. He would have never met Henry and had the seed planted in his head. Through Basil, unwittingly, Dorian is introduced to these new ideas of chasing that which cannot truly give one meaning in life. Also, Basil points out that the reason he thinks that Dorian is so beautiful is that his innocent, kind personality shines out from his soul.
That
is what Basil wishes to capture on canvas.
Wilde does show us the nobility who had a heart for the poor. There is one character who spends most of her time in the slums working with the poor. This was not only good-hearted of her but shows that she truly cares about all life and all people. And… this was a life-threatening thing for her to do. As mentioned, plagues were rampant in the slums most of the time. She was exposing herself constantly to these diseases. Yet, she wished to devote her time to helping others. The main characters, Henry and Dorian, seem to think that is hilarious and useless. But Oscar Wilde is showing us the other side of the coin. Dorian, who had life everlasting as long as his portrait was untouched, could have spent it doing things like that.
In fact, the woman who works in the slums seems to be a very happy person. Why was she so happy? Probably because her life had meaning. She gave other people meaning to their lives, thus it bounced back on her and, unlike Dorian, did not bounce over to someone else. She was engaged in life in a way that truly counted and she found true happiness in this.
Wilde, of course, is spoofing Victorian values in general. He is not spoofing so much the philanthropists, or the great progress being made in knowledge. He is spoofing the upper classes, mainly. He is calling them hypocritical – they make all this to do about being proper and yet ignore everything going on around them.
Is it wrong for Dorian to seek out pleasurable things? He attends the theater, studies up on many things, is at every party in town.
At the end, when Dorian recants, he still only receives the consequences of the natural order reasserting its balance. He ages to his true age and dies. The picture is restored to its original beauty – capturing that innocent young person whom we meet at the beginning of the story. Why is this? Shouldn’t he have to suffer for all the horrible things he did – pulling other friends down into the dirt in which he wallowed and ruining their reputations, offering his love to women, and then withdrawing it cruelly…
Who is to say? Wilde, being a rather spiritual person anyway, to the point that he actually converted to a religious creed at the end of his life, shows us something.
Dorian might deserve punishment far beyond what he got, but in dying a natural death after he recanted by trying to destroy the very thing that made it possible for him to be the sordid individual he had become, there might have been forgiveness. The picture, being restored to its original state, might have been showing what repentance in one’s actions really is a restoration of the body and soul to its natural state. The picture, which had so well captured Dorian’s soul, shines forth again in all its beauty. His body ages and dies, which is also natural.
Relevance – What does this mean to you?
Beauty and youth are still toted as the ultimate “virtues” in life. Of course, a virtue is an actual thought or action, not the way one looks or how old one is. However, all you have to do is walk through the grocery lines to see the many, many magazines which tell you how to diet and eat to look younger.
Many people have trouble with self-esteem. Talk to your friends. Chances are they feel the same way you do. If that doesn’t ease your mind, go to your parents, a favorite uncle or, if you are also attending school, make use of your counselor. They can help steer you toward someone to whom you can talk and work your feelings out – be it another kid they know or a clergyman or the football coach. Sometimes it helps when you discuss things with someone else altogether other than family, as long as your parents approve of that person and your taking him/her into your confidence.
The media is pushing exactly what society has been pushing for centuries. Please, learn to be happy with yourself the way you are. Also, forgive. Since this story also has redemption in the end, realize that forgiveness of one’s self is important. Forgive yourself for not being perfect and that includes your appearance. On the same note, overlook others’ faults, especially their appearance. Be neat and clean, do all you can with what you’ve been given on the outside, but remember it’s the inner you that counts. And be kind to others. Instead of living for yourself only, remember that Dorian did that and look at what happened. He achieved no lasting contentment. Lord Wotton lived that way but was an empty shell of a person – he was not truly happy.
