A man or woman without a soul, is doomed. Dorian Gray was doomed when he looked at his youthful portrait and cried the words, "If only the picture would grow old and I would remain young; I would give anything, even my soul!"
When you forfeit your soul, be prepared for consequences that will be hellish and eternal.
Love appears true meaning toward someone else not yours. Its a meaning of compassion toward others and not always about their self but a little encouragement. In the picture of Dorian Gray its about life contradicting itself and a whole other world that has a different meaning of this century now.
A corrupt young man somehow keeps his youthful beauty eternally, but a special painting gradually reveals his inner ugliness to all.

Lord Henry gives him a yellow book. In the Barnes and Nobles version of The Picture of Dorian Gray, it is stated at the very bottom of the page on 128 that it is a French book called A Rebours or translated into English as Against Nature, or Against the Grain.
Dorian Gray - actress - was born on 1928-02-02.
Lord Henry always kind of controlled Dorian. He wanted to be to Dorian what Dorian was to Basil. Dorian probably wasn't even aware of how highly he held Henry, and never quite perceived of the impact of Henry's words on him. Dorian thought of him as a friend, but in reality, he was like his puppy.
Well, in Reader Response theory, all the meaning of a book happens in the interaction between the text and the person reading it. The reader's experiences and how the reader relates to the events taking place in the book are more important, in that theory, than what the author's original intent was, or what the book means in a historical or societal context. So, some would say that the reader brings a lot. :) The picture of Dorian Gray is a story about a lot of things... perfection, beauty, hypocrisy, evil, fear... and we, as human beings, feel those things in our world and within ourselves. So, as we read about Dorian and all the people he interacts with in the book, including how he interacts with himself (symbolized by the actions he takes with regard to the painting), we appreciate the work as much as we can *relate* to it, and see the truths of the story reflected in our lives.
