"The Picture of Dorian Gray," originally written by Oscar Wilde, tells the story of a young man, Dorian Gray, who becomes enamored with his own portrait, painted by artist Basil Hallward. In a moment of wishful thinking, he wishes that he could remain forever young while the painting ages in his place. As Dorian indulges in a life of debauchery and moral decay, the portrait reflects the corruption of his soul, becoming increasingly grotesque. Dorian's pursuit of pleasure leads to devastating consequences, ultimately forcing him to confront the true cost of his vanity and hedonism, as he grapples with guilt and existential despair.
