The Picture of Dorian Gray

Oscar Wilde

Synopsis

The Picture of Dorian Gray tells the story of a young man named Dorian Gray, who becomes enamored with his own portrait painted by artist Basil Hallward. Influenced by Lord Henry Wotton, he wishes that he could remain forever youthful while the portrait ages in his place. As Dorian indulges in a life of hedonism and moral corruption, his portrait reflects the consequences of his actions, illustrating the duality of his existence. Ultimately, Dorian's obsession with beauty and fear of aging leads to his downfall. The novel explores themes of vanity, morality, and the nature of the self.
