Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: This man wrote a story about Lord Arthur Saville, who attempts to fulfill a prophecy before a marriage by murdering someone, while the Dance of the Seven Veils leads to John the Baptist's beheading in a French play by this man. Along with Salome, he penned the line "each man kills the thing he loves" in his poem "The (*) Ballad of Reading Gaol" ["Redding Jail"]. Mrs Erlynne protects her daughter by lying about borrowing the title object in this man's play Lady Windermere's Fan and in his only novel, Basil Hallward paints the title object, which ages and grows more grotesque as its subject sins. For 10 points, name this author of The Picture of Dorian Gray.
