• Main idea :  A major theme in the picture of dorian gray  by oscar wilde is importance of beauty . At the beginning  of the book , the author claims that the purpose of art is display beauty . in the novel , beauty is valuable than morality . the significance of beauty in highlighted in the  first chapter where basil hallward is obsessed by dorian gray and likes him because of his looks .hallward confides to lord henry .

• my opinion : the story was good as an initial attempt to read it and often expresses the hidden  evil within every human being .we cannot dictate that we are under the influence of evil , but that the existence of god is good . and also how the author of this book has written a great art and an expression of the current situation in which we live .
