The Picture of Dorian Gray / Dorian Gray portree
Beside
this, the purpose of art is largely discussed about.
The action takes place in the late 19th century in England, London. A lot of action took place
at Dorian's and Basil's home.
The story is mostly told from Dorian's point of view by a third person, but there was a part
where it seemed like Wilde himself was retelling the story. The tone of the book is shocking and
immoral and it made the overall mood of the story a little bit revolting and dark.
The main charachter in this book is of course Dorian Gray. He is an ideal of beauty and this
makes him arrogant. He thinks that if he is beautiful, everything is allowed to him. He kills one of
his friends Basil, a conventially minded and talented painter and does not even feel guilty after that.
The third quite important charachter there is Lord Henry, a friend of both Dorian and Basil. He is a
charming talker and a brilliant intellect.
The climax occurs when Dorian kills Basil
