The Picture of Dorian Gray, by Oscar Wilde
Innocent young Dorian Gray has his portrait painted by
a close friend. Soon after, under the influence of
amoral Lord Henry Wotton, he jilts his fiancee,
leading to her suicide. This is the start of a life of
increasing debauchery, Gray realising that the outward
signs of this are apparent only in the portrait.
Eventually the picture, secreted in his childhood
playroom, becomes almost hideous to behold. But Gray
still has one pure love - Gladys, daughter of the
original painter.
