The
ending of the story is CONVENTIONAL- THE
VILLAIN is PUNISHED by his own soul
Dorian tries to
separate his external appearance
from his internal reality. In
society his appearance enchants everybody and even if he commits criminal acts
nobody can believe that he can be corrupted. In fact he hasn’t got a real
identity, people don’t know the real person but the character of Dorian. He is
forced to live according to a code that doesn’t correspond to what he really
wants.
The picture expresses
the dark side of Dorian. Stabbing the portrait, Dorian kills himself. The bad side of Dorian is a part of his
personality. It’s his double. So, the
contrast betweewn how he is inside and how he appears to the others brings him
to death.
The
horrible picture is also a symbol of the immorality of the Victorian
middle-class, while Dorian and his innocent appearance are symbols of the
hypocrisy of his time.
