THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY: BY OSCAR WILDE

Abstract: 

The novel tells the story of a young man named Dorian Gray, portrayed by the artist Basil Hallward, who is greatly impressed by Dorian's physical beauty and starts to become infatuated with him, believing that this beauty is responsible for the new form of his art.  

Talking in Basil's garden, Dorian meets Lord Henry Wotton, a friend of Basil, and begins to be captivated by the world view of Lord Henry. Exposing a new kind of hedonism, Lord Henry suggests that "the only thing worthwhile in life is beauty, and the satisfaction of the senses." 

 When he realized that one day his beauty will fade, Dorian wishes to have always the age when he was painted by Basil. Dorian's wish is satisfied, while he remains forever the same appearance of the picture, the painted figure gets older. 

His search for pleasure leads to a series of acts of libertinism and perversion, but the picture serves as a reminder of the effects of each of the acts on his soul, with each sin being exhibited as a disfigurement of his face or across a sign of aging.

  Chapter sixteen more interesting for me, when Lord Henry and dorian were talking. Lord henry said him that didn´t change,that he was wonderful as he was. Dorian said he wont change,that, the pass day ,he was good, he ababdoned a honest girl in the country, Lord Henry joked. After he said that Alan Cambell has killed himself. He regrets his conduct
