A classic. I will say, the 20 chapter updated version doesn't improve on much from original 13-chapter version and was kind of unnecessary with some added racism and a

revenge plot that goes nowhere

but who am I to stop Wilde from special edition income

Also gay as hell, Henry is a fun terrible person even if Dorian is the head empty easiest mark. Poor

Basil and everyone who crosses Dorian's path

Lord Henry: hate him but agree with some of the things he says, his wisdom is attractive but he needs to tone it down a bit.
Dorian gray: loved you at first when I knew nothing about you, hated you the most in the end.
Basil Hallward: I pity you.
Sibyl Vane: girl, chill.
