    Picture of Dorian Gray is novel written by Irish writer Oscar Wilde.

    It was published in an early


    form in Lippincott’s Monthly Magazine in 1890.The novel, the only one written by Wilde, had six
    additional chapters when it was released as a book in 1891. Oscar Wilde’s only novel is the
    dreamlike story of a young man who sells his soul for eternal youth and beauty.

    The story revolves around a portrait of Dorian Gray painted by Basil Hallward, a friend of Dorian's
    and an artist infatuated with Dorian's beauty. Through Basil, Dorian meets Lord Henry Wotton and
    is soon enthralled by the aristocrat's hedonistic worldview: that beauty and sensual fulfillment 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 amoral experiences while staying
    young and beautiful; all the while, his portrait ages and visually records every one of Dorian's sins.

    To me the plot of this story is unpredictable and amusing. It left me speechless. This book is
    exquisite; it is an investigation into the human soul, the power of vanity and the problems of living
    a life with not a single consequence for your actions.What makes the character of Dorian Gray
    interesting is the change from the innocent and naive person to the complete opposite.He is a
    victim of of other people's influence. He becomes a shell, an emotionless creature who can only
    seek his sin: vanity. He surrounds himself with beauty. His house is full of art, brilliant music and
    every luxury known to man. Everything he does is for his own indulgence; he just doesn’t care
    what affect his presence has on others. The prefect moment is all he lives for.“I don't want to be
    at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them.” The
    novel teaches us that we should admire transient things and enjoy the moment. It also tells us to
    have our own opinion and not to be naive.

    The Picture of Dorian Gray is a great read.If you are a fan of gothic novels ,this book is just one for
    you.I would definitely recommend it.
