“The Picture Of Dorian Gray” by Oscar Wilde is a Gothic melodrama which explores the theme of consequences and morals through characterization, language and the change in the portrait. ... Wilde cleverly uses: how people see Dorian, how Dorian sees himself and what happens to Dorian to convey the moral behind the story, which is that soul wins over beauty. ...
