A. Lord Henry Wotton and Basil Halward become good friends with
Dorian Gray, the young model that Basil uses for his paintings. They grow greatly

Adonis using Dorian as the model. Upon completion, Dorian is fascinated by it, for
it is a strikingly real representation of himself. He sadly laments that the picture will
always show a young, beautiful face while he will grow old and wrinkled. He says
that he would give anything in the world if it could be the picture that grows older
and he remain young. He says that he would give his soul for such an
arrangement. Little does he know that he has sold his soul to the devil.
