THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY. analysis

As easily seen, The Picture of Dorian Gray has a strong philosophical feel while reading. We watch relationships with good and evil grow. We also watch as the prominent "bad guy", Lord Henry, influences Dorian's life in all the wrong ways. Even when Henry is not with Dorian personally, we see him through Dorian's actions. All articles have strong feelings toward the influence Henry had on Dorian. The first article brings up some irony and foreshadowing that came about in the beginning of the novel. Similar foreshadowing is also seen in the second article as well. They also all talk about the relationship between Dorian and the evil he was filled with until the day he died. We also saw how easily Dorian was influenced. He seemed to live on the world, not in it. He was superior being in his mind, and I read many opinions in each article I read.
