Description
Once a young man of otherworldly beauty, innocence, and a pure heart draws the attention of an artist, who immortalizes his fine appearance in a portrait. Dorian Gray, as the youth is called, in a magical way becomes linked to his painting. Choosing pleasures and indulgences, without stopping at anything, Dorian Gray uses his beauty to perfect himself in vice. He loses his innocence, and gradually his heart turns to stone. Yet his angelic looks suffer no harm. The young man does not age and does not change. All of this happens only to the image on the canvas.
Another hero, Lord Henry, is the driving force behind this infernal mechanism. His words, like sweet poison, poison the young man’s already sick heart even further, and the young man, quite clearly, sets off down the path of vice...
At first glance, it feels like a crime without punishment, but the torment of a disfigured soul ends in tragedy.
There are a vast number of wise phrases in the work. Even though each of them can be disputed, they stir the mind and the heart, forcing one to think about what matters most.
