Description

The Picture of Dorian Gray is written by Oscar Wilde and is based on one innocent, eventual downfall, and moral corruption of a young man's seduction.

The story begins in the studio of painter Basil Hallward with his friend Lord Henry.

Basil confides to Henry that he is working on a portrait of Dorian Gray, who had an extraordinary influence on him.

Basil Hallward's portrait of Dorian Gray is admired by Lord Henry Wotton, but Dorian has an extreme response to the portrait, wishing he could trade with it.

In between the story of this portrait creation, Dorian begins to seek every experience of life and falls in love with Sybil Vane, a beautiful young actress who embodies Shakespeare's heroines.

However, Sybil is in love with her 'Prince Charming' and is determined to marry him.

Dorian becomes obsessed with his portrait, leading to his murder of Basil and the destruction of the painting.

Dorian killed Basil in frustration but why and then what happened to Sybil?

Did she marry Dorian? To know the complete story readers should read The Picture of Dorian Gray!
