The Picture of Dorian Gray	comment	The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890) was Oscar Wilde's only novel, naturally rife with witty banter and homo-eroticism. Blond, beautiful Dorian is The Muse for the talented artist Basil Hallward. Dorian, gifted with incredible beauty, is a thoughtless and happy young man until the day that he comes to Hallward's house to see the unveiling of the artist's latest masterpiece — the eponymous portrait. There, he meets Lord Henry, who with a few casual words, instills the fear of aging and decrepitude into Dorian's young, impressionable heart. Dorian is greatly troubled, and when Basil brings the portrait out and unveils it, its beauty hurts Dorian so much that he exclaims he would sell his soul for his painting to age in his place.From that day on, Lord Henry, rather than the adoring Basil Hallward, becomes the driving force in Dorian's life, leading him down a path of sensuality and pleasure. Dorian begins to notice, after he cruelly rejects the young actress who has fallen in love with him, that his portrait changes — a dark smirk comes over the once innocent smile, just to begin. Years pass. The portrait grows older. Dorian does not.This story was used as evidence against Wilde and resulted in him being prosecuted for homosexuality and sentenced to two years hard labor.Wilde's novel has been adapted for film, television, and stage at least two dozen times. One of the most famous adaptations is a 1945 film directed by Albert Lewin that starred George Sanders as Lord Henry, Hurd Hatfield as Dorian, Donna Reed as Basil's niece Gladys (a wholly different character in the film), and 20-year-old Angela Lansbury as Sibyl Vane. The 2009 film Dorian Gray starred Ben Barnes in the title role and Colin Firth as Lord Henry. It has also been adapted by Big Finish as a series of full cast audios titled The Confessions of Dorian Gray with Alexander Vlahos playing the title character, who reprised his role in an adaption of the original novel and a live-action short film.

The Picture of Dorian Gray / int_1183175e	comment	This Was His True Form: At the end, when Dorian stabs the picture, thus killing himself, the portrait becomes pretty again, but his body becomes mutated, reflecting his own inner corruption and age. His servants can't even tell it's his corpse until they recognize the rings on his fingers.

The Picture of Dorian Gray / int_12dc4d97	comment	Greedy Jew: Isaacs, the theater owner who puts on Sybil Vane's productions, is a particularly anti-Semitic example even for the Victorian era. He's repeatedly described as old, vile and filthy, with an enormous diamond on his shirt. Although he professes a passion for Shakespeare, his productions are of an exceedingly shabby quality and show how much Sybil is slumming. He seems to have sexual designs on Sybil as well.

The Picture of Dorian Gray / int_2f36d97	comment	Older Than They Look: Dorian keeps his youthful looks for about two decades (many adaptations make it seem longer). Many readers assume that Dorian receives immortality, but this is never stated. He simply doesn't show the effects of age, and it's not actually impossible to look young into your late thirties; it's more that a hedonistic life of drugs, alcohol, and casual sex is really not conducive to that. We can't be sure if Dorian is immune to death from old age or not as he doesn't live long enough to find out.

The Picture of Dorian Gray / int_6977c45e	comment	Purple Prose: The whole book, arguably, but particularly Chapter 11. It can be summarized as, "He read books, did things, and had lots of pretty stuff." This may have been to show the reader the tediousness of Dorian's hedonism and his consequently jaded attitude. It also serves to compare Dorian's appearance to the items he speaks of. The jewels, etc., are items which one acquires as beauty that can last forever. (It's also speculated that when Wilde's publisher told him that the book was too short, he padded it with those descriptions.)

The more open attitudes about homosexuality and premarital sex shift the plot around a little, but it still works. Will Self's screenplay-turned-novel Dorian updates the setting to early 80s London art scene and introduces a Tragic AIDS Story subplot as well as drawing parallels between Dorian and Princess Diana. The teen horror novel Mirror, Mirror sets it in a modern day (1992) high school. Rick Reed's A Face Without A Heart updates the setting to early 2000s America (the picture is now a hologram), changes the characters' names (and makes Henry "Henrietta", a drag performer), and is more explicit about the gay sex and drug usage A semi-staged version was released online in March 2021, set in the present day. In this version, Dorian's online presence remains young and beautiful while his face ages and corrupts. It's set during the Covid pandemic, and he stars wearing a mask in public for health reasons, but is soon wearing one to hide his face.

The Picture of Dorian Gray / int_b4a6ae4c	type	Everyone Has Standards
The Picture of Dorian Gray / int_b4a6ae4c	comment	Everyone Has Standards: Dorian's grandfather, Lord Kelso, hired an adventurer to challenge his commoner son-in-law to a duel so he could be killed. While the gentry couldn't understand why Dorian's mother chose somebody below her station, even they were appalled by Kelso's cruelty. According to Harry's uncle, "He ate his chop alone in the club for some time".

The Picture of Dorian Gray / int_b5c56995	comment	Corrupt the Cutie: Dorian Gray starts out as an innocent if not outstandingly virtuous Manchild. Then Basil introduces him to Lord Henry, a hedonist who tells Dorian that only youth and beauty matter in life. The impressionable Dorian really takes this to heart and impulsively makes the Deal with the Devil that starts off the plot of the book. Unfortunately, Lord Henry sticks around and continues to malignly influence Dorian, the effect amplified by Dorian becoming The Soulless as a result of said deal. Unsurprisingly, it gets worse as the plot goes on.

The Picture of Dorian Gray / int_c1ee9854	comment	Stab the Picture: Dorian makes a Deal with the Devil that lets him keep his youthful good looks in defiance of his age and lifestyle of debauchery—in his place, his painted portrait shows the effects of age, drugs, and (probably) several venereal diseases. At the climax, Dorian gets furious at having such a tangible reminder of his own misdeeds, and he stabs the painting with a knife. This is a mistake. Since the picture and Dorian are magically linked, the knife winds up in Dorian's own chest, killing him. This also breaks the original magic, so the painting is restored to its original state, while Dorian becomes so deformed, his own house staff don't recognize him when they find his corpse.

Both Lord Henry and Basil seek to guide Dorian into maturity as well as seeking his romantic favor.
