‘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.

About Author
Oscar Wilde was an Anglo-Irish poet and playwright, novelist, poet and critic. He was born on October 16 1854, in Dublin, Ireland. He was the second son of Sir William Wilde, a renowned doctor and his wife, Jane Francesca Wilde, a writer and Irish nationalist. Wilde showed an early talent for writing and he excelled academically. After graduating from Oxford, Wilde moved to London and began to make a name for himself as a writer and a public speaker. He became associated with the aesthetic movement, a group of artists and writers who valued beauty and artifice above all else. In 1881, Wilde published his first collection of poetry which received mixed reviews. Eventually, it was his play, The Importance of Being Earnest which premiered in 1895 that is considered his masterpiece.
