portrait upstairs. The portrait is hideous as Dorian's sins. In anger, Dorian blames Basil for his
fate and stabs him to death. Dorians is also the reason, why his first love, a very beautiful and
talented actress named Sibyl Vane kills herself.
The need to be different, superior to others, gets Dorian eventually killed. He wants to
redeem his sins. Unfortunately, he lacks the feeling of quilt and fearing the consequences, he
goes out for the painting the only conscienceness he has (since the painting hides all his

The painting had reverted to its original form.
