Dorian Gray is a master class in cynical misanthropy. Sir Henry, the ever so witty man shamelessly encouraging Gray to embrace his vanity, all for the thrill of it. Gray himself, becoming hopelessly enthralled with his picture and himself, at the cost of leaving everyone hurt or, quite literally, dead in his wake. And through it all we wonder, is Dorian the crazy one, or the “high society” that is too busy admiring his antics and enabling his narcissism to take him down to earth when he really needed it.
