What drives a person to keep their image? The value of Beauty means a lot in society and Dorian Gray shows how far he is willing to keep his secrets. This was absolutely amazing. You see how Dorian is transformed throughout the novel, physically, emotionally, and psychologically. Brilliant read ⭐️

I was expecting Dorian to see the picture and see that it didn’t change at all even with him now being “good” but I was NOT expecting that he die at the end ☠️
