The Picture Of Dorian Gray

'Nowadays people know the price of everything and the value of nothing.’

When Dorian Gray, a handsome man is made aware of his exceptional beauty, it brings out his desire to freeze his looks. Dorian Gray sees a portrait of himself made by his close friend and on seeing that he decides to trade his soul, that which differentiates between moral and immoral, for unageing beauty.

As is often said, “beauty is as beauty does”; but what happens when Dorian loses the ability to choose moral actions and leads a life of amoral choices, seeking only to fulfil his desires; ensuring that his actions hurt everyone around him.

Will he still be beautiful, or will the portrait show another picture to the world? One with every sin displayed across the canvas.

A poignant and thoughtful story which reflects the importance of actions, intentions and realigns meaningful acts which are a source of goodness for the soul.
