I'd say the character development is complicated because it isn't exactly developing...rather, Dorian Gray has a corruption arc. Very great book, but prospective readers be aware that there is Anti-Semitism that comes out of nowhere early on in the book. The man who runs the theatre Sybil Vane works at is described and characterized with gross stereotypes and caricatures.

I expected more from you, Mr. Wilde?!

Two stars have been removed for antisemitism, misogyny, and also just like the middle chunk of the book which was SO BORING. The only good parts are the parts where the characters are speaking to one another. Two stars remain for that. One star has been awarded because somehow I never realized this book is categorized as horror, and it is, at its heart, a horror novel.

Total score: 3/5 stars

the characters were wildly unlikeable to me but the drama of it all was still entertaining 

I might write more thoughts on this later but i need to study for my finals now so my head is literally just not ready to write even a semblance of a cohesive text about this book lol
