Answer 6

Dorian Gray is the main character of Oscar Wilde's novel The Picture of Dorian Gray.

Dorian Gray was the orphaned grandson of Lord Kelso. His mother, Margaret Deveraux, a great society beauty, died in childbirth shortly after Dorian's father was killed in a duel. It was said that Lord Kelso paid a Belgian duelist to cause the fight.

The novel begins with Dorian as a young man. Kelso is dead, and Dorian has inherited much of the Deveraux fortune. He is now the protege of Lady Agatha, Lord Henry Wotton's aunt, and together they entertain and raise money for the Whitechapel poor.

Until Dorian finally meets Lord Henry he is naive of his own good looks and personality. His innocence is unspoiled and his knowledge of the world resembles that of a child. To his friend, the artist Basil Hallward, Dorian is simply a motive in art, a privately worshipped icon in the painter's idealistic world. Dorian is described as "wonderfully handsome, with his finely-curved scarlet lips, his frank blue eyes and his crisp gold hair . . . All the candour of youth was there, as well as all of youth's passionate purity."

Answer 8

Who Is Dorian Gray

Answer 9

"Dorian Grey" is the title of Oscat Wild's novel. He is well kown especially for his short stories.
Dorian Grey is a two sided human : half an angel, half a devil.
His outside is angelic, and so is his soul in the begining.
He makes a pact with the devil (like in Goethe's Fausto) so he can stay young and handsome, and his picture gets the wrinkles and the grey hair). That was his first mistake, and after that came the crimes. He wasn't capable of love and he wasn't loved.
When he saw his picture old and ugly he also died.
So beauty is not all, there are more important things in life.
