Dorian Gray sees a portrait of himself made by his close friend and on seeing that he decides to trade his soul, that which differentiates between moral and immoral, for unageing beauty.As is often said, “beauty is as beauty does”; but what happens when Dorian loses the ability to choose moral actions and leads a life of amoral choices, seeking only to fulfil his desires; ensuring that his actions hurt everyone around him.Will he still be beautiful, or will the portrait show another picture to the world? One with every sin displayed across the canvas.A poignant and thoughtful story which reflects the importance of actions, intentions and realigns meaningful acts which are a source of goodness for the soul.

About Author

Oscar Fingall O'Flahertie Wills Wilde was born in Dublin in 1854. He was educated at Trinity College, Dublin and Magdalen College, Oxford where, a disciple of Pater, he founded an aesthetic cult. In 1884 he married Constance Lloyd, and his two sons were born in 1885 and 1886. His novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray (1891), and social comedies Lady Windermere's Fan (1892), A Woman of No Importance (1893), An Ideal Husband (1895), and The Importance of Being Earnest (1895), established his reputation. In 1895, following his libel action against the Marquess of Queesberry, Wilde was sentenced to two years' imprisonment for homosexual conduct, as a result of which he wrote The Ballad of Reading Gaol (1898), and his confessional letter De Profundis (1905). On his release from prison in 1897 he lived in obscurity in Europe, and died in Paris in 1900.
