		Dorian is corrupted and horrible, and yet at the same time, one almost thinks he may suddenly stop and try to turn back.
		Upon its initial publication in Lippincott's Monthly Magazine in 1890, "The Picture of Dorian Gray" was widely scorned as immoral by a public neither familiar with nor particularly open to the concepts of Aestheticism and its mockery of middle class morality, and repulsed by the thinly veiled homoerotic relationship of the novel's protagonists.
		Like Dorian, he knew that "[e]ach of us has Heaven and Hell in him," and although this novel's preface ends with the provocative statement that "[a]ll art is quite useless," it was the very fact that Wilde put his entire being into his art that ultimately destroyed him.

		Gray?' Neither of us could help laughing, and we became friends at once." "Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one," said the young lord, plucking another daisy.
		He felt that the eyes of Dorian Gray were fixed on him, and the consciousness that amongst his audience there was one whose temperament he wished to fascinate seemed to give his wit keenness and to lend colour to his imagination.
		Dorian Gray never took his gaze off him, but sat like one under a spell, smiles chasing each other over his lips and wonder growing grave in his darkening eyes.

	The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde: A searchable online version at The Literature Network
		Wilde’s writing is a reflection of art for art’s sake (l’art pour l’art) and is indeed a depiction of the inner qualities of beauty that exists within both himself and the life of the text in which we see the image of the woman as being representative of Bohemian defiance.
		The familiar tones shared by the youthful countenance of Dorian Gray, nearly murdered on the canvas, and the shades of the immortalized Gioconda reflected in the face in the little silver-clasped morocco-case linked by the selfless beauty of Wilde’s style.
		Dorian has created a world of a fairy tail because he is too weak to deal with reality.

		Dorian Gray (Hurd Hatfield) is an expressionless young man, whose soul is also a blank slate.
		Dorian makes a wish to remain forever young, while his portrait takes the fall for his sins and the passage of time.
		Dorian's life as a debaucher and wastrel becomes the scandal of London, but his Buster Keaton deadpan remains unchanged.

		The studio was filled with the rich odor of roses, and when the light summer wind stirred amidst the trees of the garden there came through the open door the heavy scent of the lilac, or the more delicate perfume of the pink-flowering thorn.
		Dorian grey has a portrait done of himself and finds that he becomes jealous of it, because it will remain forever young, and he will not.

	Oscar Wilde's Picture of Dorian Gray
		And artist Basil Hallward, painter of the infamous picture of Dorian Gray, feels the secret of his soul lies in that beautiful portrait but sees in the end that it indeed "has the eyes of a devil" (174).
		Dorian, who at last discovers in himself the vestiges of a conscience, resents having any conscience at all, and so projects that conscience into the picture.
		The fantasy of Dorian Gray's portrait is not a Faustian story of a hero giving up life for knowledge, but a fl fairy tale in which a spoiled boy gets his one wish -- endless youthfulness and sensuality -- and becomes a suicide because he cannot handle its implications.

		Dorian, who represents at the beginning of the novel a shallow yet unspoiled character, is gradually corrupted and is taught by Lord Henry to consider looking on his life as an outsider - banishing reality and imagining that he were a spectator of an extensive play; the plot of which is his own life.
		I liked the fact that a few words changed Dorians whole out look on life and his role in it, I believe he wanted his peers approval especially over the girl he had chosen to love and demeaned himself to become what his new friend told him was the person to be (the "modern man").
		Dorian destroys his own picture so he does not have to see it again and to insure that nor will anyone else, he believes he will then be free to do what he likes without concience or consequences.

		He had not entered the place for more than four years--not, indeed, since he had used it first as a play-room when he was a child, and then as a study when he grew somewhat older.
		When the sound of their footsteps had died away, Dorian locked the door and put the key in his pocket.

		After he kills a young woman, "as surely as if I had cut her little throat with a knife," Dorian Gray is surprised to find no difference in his vision or surroundings.
		At times Wilde seems to suggest that only immoderate (quantitatively speaking) behavior is immoral; and yet, at other times, it appears some actions themselves ought to be avoided.
