Spellbound before his own portrait, Dorian Gray utters a fateful wish. In exchange for eter-

nal youth he gives his soul, to be corrupted by the malign influence of his mentor, the aesthete

and hedonist Lord Henry Wotton. The novel was met with moral outrage by contemporary crit-

ics who, dazzled perhaps by Wilde’s brilliant style, may have confused the author with his cre-

ation, Lord Henry, to whom even Dorian protests, ‘You cut life to pieces with your epigrams.’

Encouraged by Lord Henry to substitute pleasure for goodness and art for reality, Dorian

tries to watch impassively as he brings misery and death to those who love him. but the pic-

ture is watching him, and, made hideous by the marks of sin, it confronts Dorian with the re-

flection of his fall from grace, the silent bearer of what is in effect a devastating moral judgement.

“How sad it is!”, murmured Dorian Gray

with his eyes still fixed upon his own por-

trait. “How sad it is! I shall grow old, and

horrible, and dreadful. But this picture

will remain always young. It will never be

older than this particular day of June.”

“. . . If it were only the other way! If it were I who

was to be always young, and the picture that was

to grow old! For that-for that-I would give every-

thing! Yes, there is nothing in the whole world I

would not give! I would give my soul for that!”
