What is Wilde’s attitude toward the Victorian preoccupation with philanthropy?

In The Picture of Dorian Gray, The Importance of
Being Earnest, A Woman of No Importanceand nearly every work of Oscar Wilde
there is a point to be made on the matter of
philanthropy.

The attitude of Wilde is that Victorians use
philanthropy as an excuse to make themselves "holier than thou"and to elevate their
rank, position, and reputation in a shallow society that is also over-preoccupied with
climbing the social ladder and appearing to be what they are
not.

In Dorian Gray, for example,
Dorian asked Lord Henry why should he re-consider philanthropy to which Lord Henry
replies that Dorian is "way too charming" to go into philanthropy
and:

"I don't
know that I shall tell you that, Mr. Gray. It is so tedious a subject that one would
have to talk seriously about it.

 Wilde himself was not a
known philanthropist, but after prison he was known to try his best to help children
celebrate the Queen's Jubilee in France. However, he was always known as someone who
detested the double dealings of Victorians and the hypocritical nature of their
society.
