I...It's disgusting how much I love Dorian Gray. I even went as Dorian Gray for Halloween one year!<br /><br />He's the ultimate "What if" character. He made people wonder what it would be like to live vicariously in his shoes. Of course Wilde was a genius to make the thought provoking idea with "if we commit murder or debauchery, would our souls go unscathed?" What about vanity and discovery of the forbidden? Can it change one person's life course? Then you also have to take into account Harry's role in Dorian's life. Would Dorian have made the deal with the devil if not for him? Or was evil just a hidden human instinct within Dorian's innocence? <br /><br />I could seriously go on forever. I love this book so stinkin' much it's disturbing!Mandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03860402931006964907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6839646920915128083.post-30355098866097425762012-10-23T16:03:51.330-07:002012-10-23T16:03:51.330-07:00This is one of those that I've had on my shelf...This is one of those that I've had on my shelf for a while and never gotten to.
