Content Warnings
Graphic: Death, Misogyny, Antisemitism, Murder, Toxic friendship
Moderate: Drug use, Sexism, Suicide
Minor: Antisemitism
The instance of antisemitism happened only early in the novel, but it is really, really viscerally pungent. So prepare yourself, it happens when Dorian is talking to Henry about the theatre owner, and continues until the first major event of the book.
