great gift when paired together but are also just as beautiful on their

Hallward, an artist impressed and infatuated by Dorian's beauty; he believes
that Dorian's beauty is responsible for the new mood in his art as a painter.
Through Basil, Dorian meets Lord Henry Wotton, and he soon is enthralled by the
aristocrat's hedonistic world view: that beauty and sensual fulfilment are the
only things worth pursuing in life. Newly understanding that his beauty will
fade, Dorian expresses the desire to sell his soul, to ensure that the picture,
rather than he, will age and fade. The wish is granted, and Dorian pursues a
libertine life of varied amoral experiences while staying young and beautiful;
all the while, his portrait ages and records every sin.
