Dorian Gray archiveThe chilling Gothic tale of Dorian Gray, who remains physically unchanged when he discovers the power of his own exceptional beauty and his downfall within the glamorous world of self-luxury and corrupt lifestyle. But hidden away in his attic, his portrait tells a different story... The portrait which Basil Hallward painted of Dorian Gray revealed the face of an Adonis, and when he saw the finished picture of himself, the beautiful young man exclaimed: "Why should it keep what I must lose? Oh if only the picture could change, and I could be always what I am now." His perverse desire was strangely fulfilled. Abandoning himself to every sin which his profligate mind could devise he brought misery and disgrace on all who accepted his companionship, but Dorian Gray remained serenely beautiful. It was on the portrait locked away in his attic that the marks and degeneration mysteriously appeared for the painting slowly transformed into the likeness of a satyr.
