 The Picture of Dorian Grey
The Picture of Dorian Gray, by Oscar Wilde
Innocent young Dorian Gray has his portrait painted by a close friend. Soon after, under the influence of amoral Lord Henry Wotton, he jilts his fiancee, leading to her suicide. This is the start of a life of increasing debauchery, Gray realising that the outward signs of this are apparent only in the portrait. Eventually the picture, secreted in his childhood playroom, becomes almost hideous to behold. But Gray still has one pure love - Gladys, daughter of the original painter. |

It is possible to compare this story to the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. In both stories corruption consumed the main characters to the point of complet destruction of the life they got used to. |

Dorian Grey is the protagonist of the tale. He wishes to retain his youth and looks and is seduced by Lord Henrys manipulative, cynical philosophy. Dorian replaces his beauty of the soul with everlasting physical beauty. It shows that appearances can be deceiving. The painting od Dorian becomes twisted and contorted with evil, ugly and old. Dorian is rendered incapable of escaping from his hedonistic ways without his soul. |
