The Price of Everlasting Youth
At first he wanted to be a greatness to others,
but later he did not care about the oppinion of others at all. He was just so obsessed with his
youth. He did everything he had to do, to stay forever young. For example, one night when
Basil arrives to question Dorian about rumours of his indulgences, Dorian takes Basil to the
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
sins). He stabs the painting with a knife. Later, Dorian body is found with a knife in his heart.
