The characters in the novel are fascinating.
Dorian is a beautiful, empty headed boy ripe to be filled with Lord Henry's ever-flowing thoughts and ideas.
But years later, his painting's face changes ugly, and his character changes cruel.
I think this story is very scary.
I thought it is interesting when Dorian getting change and influenced by Load Henry.
Also, I thought human's desire is awful. (

I think it's not a very good abbreviation for the original work of Wild.In fact, the original book tells us a crazy story about a very beautiful young man who wanted to stay young forever. He did it by an amazing picture painted by his friend . Year after year, in the whole 26yeas he lived a evil but glaring life and devoted himself to the greatest pleasure. It's a book about killing , love, desire and the craziest imagination .And in the so-called evil , you can find an unusual beauty just like you can find in the writer himself. (

This is a story about a person and a painting. Dorian Gray has very beautiful looking, and he impressed with his painting's own beauty. But years later, his painting's face changes ugly, and his character changes cruel.
To be honest, this story was too difficult for me. After reading, I had many questions about this story. But maybe that is the most important point to enjoy this story. (

Basil, an artist was painting the portrait of Dorian Gray, a young beautiful man. Dorian was really beautiful and his mind also too. However, he was getting change when he met Load Henry, a lazy man. He was afraid of failing of beauty. His portrait get old and miserable instead his beauty stay reminded.

I think this story is very scary. I thought it is interesting when Dorian getting change and influenced by Load Henry. Also, I thought human's desire is awful. (
