6.

The main character is Dorian Gray, he is portrayed as a handsome young man, perfect by all descriptions.

In terms of personality he is egotistical, arrogant, hedonistic and narcissistic.

At the beginning of the book he is described as an innocent guy whose emotions can be influenced and indeed as the story progresses he becomes an unscrupulous person who is not interested in anyone.

The secondary figure I have chosen is the figure of Lord Henry, apparently an older man, belonging to the aristocratic class.

Lord Henry is a man possessed of “wrong, fascinating, poisonous, delightful theories.”

He is a charming talker, a famous wit, and a brilliant intellect.

I did not like the character of Lord Henry, to me he is a bad person who exploits Dorian’s naivety and causes Dorian to develop negative emotions.These feelings cause Dorian to commit dishonest and shocking acts.The climax comes after Dorian’s girlfriend commits suicide, the lord tells Dorian that it’s not his fault and he must move on with his life and he continues to encourage Dorian’s narcissistic feelings.
