Let's paint

a portrait of you

No harm done

Let's capture

your beauty before it ages

No harm done

Let's use apart of you

so you can be apart of it

No harm done

Life begins.

✎┆ Dorian Gray is the subject of a full-length

       portrait in oil by Basil Hallward, an artist

          who is impressed and infatuated by

              Dorian's beauty; he believes that

                   Dorian's beauty is responsible for

                          the new mood in his art as a

                             painter.

    ┆ Through Basil, Dorian meets Lord Henry

       Wotton, and he soon is enthralled by the

       aristocrat's hedonistic world view: that

       beauty and sensual fulfilment are the only

       things worth pursuing in life.

✎┆ Newly understanding that

      his beauty will fade, Dorian

       expresses the desire to sell

      his soul, to ensure that the

      picture, rather than he, will

      age and fade.

                  ┆ The wish is granted, and Dorian

                     pursues a libertine life of varied

                     and amoral experiences, while

                     staying young and beautiful; all

                     the while his portrait ages and

                     records every sin.

It's soaked into my veins

Like an obsession, an addiction

I wish I could pray it away,

But I don't have any faith

There is no God to save my soul

To give me pity

To take my sins away.

               ✎┆ Under the hedonistic

                       influence of Lord Henry,

                      Dorian fully explores his

                     sensuality.

                         ┆ He discovers the actress

                           Sibyl Vane, who performs

                           Shakespeare plays in a dingy,

                            working-class theatre.

✎┆ Dorian approaches

       and courts her, and

       soon proposes marriage.

   ┆ The enamoured Sibyl calls him

       "Prince Charming",

   ┆ and swoons with the happiness

       of being loved, but her protective brother,

  ┆ James, warns that if "Prince Charming"    

       harms her, he will murder him.

✎┆ Dorian invites Basil and Lord Henry to see

      Sibyl perform in Romeo and Juliet.

  ┆ Sibyl, too enamoured with Dorian to act,

      performs poorly, which makes both Basil

      and Lord Henry think Dorian has fallen in

      love with Sibyl because of her beauty

      instead of her acting talent.

  ┆ Embarrassed, Dorian rejects Sibyl, telling

     her that acting was her beauty; without

     that, she no longer interests him.

   ┆ On returning home, Dorian notices that the

      portrait has changed; his wish has come

      true, and the man in the portrait bears a

      subtle sneer of cruelty.

Vicious Words

Hurt Like

A Bullet.

✎┆ Conscience-stricken and lonely, Dorian decides to reconcile with Sibyl, but he is too late, as Lord Henry informs him that Sibyl has killed herself.

✎┆ Dorian then understands that, where his life is headed, lust and good looks shall suffice.

✎┆ Dorian locks the portrait up, and over the following eighteen years, he experiments with every vice, influenced by a morally poisonous French novel that Lord Henry Wotton gave him.

But we are not our past...not our fears..

Please someone rest with me...

Let me breathe and set me free,

Even if this wretched world with all its flaws might be beautiful

I don't want to be part of it anymore,

I want to rise into the heavens and soar..

I want to be free

HELP ME

✎┆ Deciding that only full confession will absolve him of wrongdoing, Dorian decides to destroy the last vestige of his conscience, and the only piece of evidence remaining of his crimes—the picture.

   ┆ In a rage, he takes the knife with which he murdered Basil Hallward, and stabs the picture.

   ┆ The servants of the house awaken on hearing a cry from the locked room; on the street, ers-by who also heard the cry call the police. On entering the locked room, the servants find an unknown old man, stabbed in the heart, his face and figure withered and decrepit.

   ┆ The servants identify the disfigured corpse by the rings on its fingers which belonged to their master, Dorian Gray. Beside him, the portrait is now restored to its former appearance of beauty.
