In this novel, the main character Dorian is a young men whose beauty fascinates and artist, Basil Hallaward, who decises to paint him who, impressed by the perfection of his beauty whishes never to grow old. His wish is granted and his sins leaves no signs on his body, but are the picture. Disgusted, Dorian try to destroy the portrait but, as soon as he does it, he dies. After that the portrait resumes its perfection while, all the signs of pity and phisical corruption appears on Dorian's body. This story is allegorical and it is the 19th century version of the myth of "Doctor Faustus". In the novel, the picture standes for the dark side of Dorian's personality. The morality of the story is that every excess must be punished and reality cannot be escaped. The restored picture illustrates Wilde's theory of art: art survives people art is eternal.
