1、The Picture of Dorian Gray Brief IntroductionThe first novel I read this term is named The Picture of Dorian Gray written by Oscar Wilde. It was published by Oxford University Press for sale in the Peoples Republic of China in 1989. The book I read can be found in the foreign books Beckon. The book
2、contains 97 pages.Main ContentsBasil was a famous artist. He painted the picture which was the best one in the whole works that he had ever painted. The portrait was about a handsome man named Dorian Gray. When Basils friend, Lord Henry advised Basil to send it to the best gallery in London. Basil r
3、efused because he had put too much of himself into the picture. Basil gived the picture to Dorian. Basil thought Dorian Gary as a a solution of his art inspiration. Basil thought Dorian was perfect. However, he said in fact he preferred not to be beautiful and in his oppinion, Dorians beautiful face
4、 will perhaps bring him into danger. That is all right.Because of Darian Grays beauty, Lored Henry wanted to know about him. Henry had important effects on ruining Dorian. Dorian was changing gradually. Dorian loved a actress called Sybil Vane. Then a bad thing happened.Because she didnt perform rea
5、l Juliet in dramas very well, Dorian was sick of her. He loved her for her artbecause she was a Wonderful actress. When Sybil had a bad perform, He said she lost fine art and killed his love for her. Dorian thought if she didnt have art, she would be nothing After they were broken up, Sybil was so s
6、ad that she killed herself. The next day when Dorian went to see the picture of him, he found there was something different about the picture. The face changedthere was something unkind and cruel about the mouth. Dorian felt sick and ashamed. Dorian thought it was his fault that he left Sybil. Howev
7、er, she killed herself. Lored Henry said Sybil never really died and forbad Dorian to cry for her. Dorian was persuaded not to feel sad. From that time on, he realized he had already chosen the right way. He would stay young forever, and enjoy every wild pleasure that life could give him. The face i
8、n the picture would grow old, ugly and unkind. But he would stay beautiful forever. Several years passed, but time did not touch the face of Dorian Gary. He enjoyed the life of a rich and fashionable young man. He studied art and music. But his search for pleasure did not stop there. He became hungr
9、y for evil pleasure. He became more and more interested in the love with the beauty of his face, more and more interested in the ugliness of his soul. Dorian both hated the picture and loved it. His fear grew stronger every year, and as time passed, the face in the picture grew slowly more terrible.
10、At last Dorian showed Basil the picture that was real Dorian and told him it was Dorians soul. Basil knew his secret. And Dorian hated Basil so heavily at that time that he killed Basil. Dorian wanted to be a good man.He wanted to kill his past, so he picked up the knife and dug into the picture. Re
11、al Dorian was dead.The story was over.Excellent episodes1.In the garden the leaves shone in the sunlight, and the flowers moved gently in the summer wind. The two young men sat on a long seat under the shadow of a tall tree.2.I feel that Ive given myself to somebody who thinks my heart is a pretty f
12、lower. A flower that he can enjoy for a summers day, and can forget tomorrow.3.There is nothing in the world as important as youth.4.The words filled Dorians head like musicwild, exciting music, what a beautiful voice Lord Henry has, he thought. They are only words, but how terrible they are! How br
13、ight and dangerous! You cannot escape from words.5.He gave them wings, and they flew like brightly Coloured birds around the room.Reflection When I begin to read the novel, I think that the novel is about homosexuality. However, after reading many pages, I have deep reflection on it.At first, Dorian
14、 had an open,honest face. There were no dark secrets in that face. When the kind and gentle boy saw the picture of himself, he said he wished that he could always stay young and that the picture could grow old. When he had the idea, he decided to give anything for his youth. The words that he said i
15、mplied that Dorian began changing. In fact, Henry ruined Dorian with his brains gradually. In the novel, Henry symbolized the Dark Society, ruining peoples wills. But there still was a common person, an aesthete. From the novel we can get some information about Oscar Wildes aestheticism. His idea wa
16、s about “Art for arts sake”.Henry said something about youth to Dorian. He said:“that theres nothing more important, more valuable than beauty. When your youth goes, your beauty will go with it. Then youll suddenly discover that your life is emptythere will be nothing to enjoy, nothing to hope for.
17、Time is your energy. It will steal everything from you. People are afraid of themselves today. Afraid to live. But with your face and your youth, theres nothing that you cant do. You must live! Live the wonderful life that is in youth. We can never be young again. There is nothing in the world as im
18、portant as youth.” From the words we can understand that aestheticism was popular at that time. Dorian pursed the youth or perfection from that on. Aestheticism ruined Dorian. From Dorians life, we can image that many aesthetes maybe have ugly hearts like Dorian.We learned many things from the novel. And I understand there is no ideal person in the world. So we should not a
