ANDREA surrounds himself with many objects and lives a luxurious life, while speaking of DORIAN we must focus attention on an art object, which is the portrait to which his story of eternal youth is linked. Andrea loves a kind of widespread beauty, general, that applies to all the aspects of life and reality; while in the case of Dorian beauty is more personal, because it is he who is beautiful, it is himself a work of art. Both of them are against the bourgeois prejudices. Finally, both Andrea and Dorian go in search of a kind of pleasure that manifests itself in a thousand ways, so it is a pleasure:

 • physical: for example in the case of Dorian who seduces many women 

• aesthetic: as the continuous search for beauty

 • intellectual: such as wanting to surround themselves with works of literature

 • artistic: such as the fact of wanting to surround themselves with works of art 

Andrea Sperelli is a young count, who, like Dorian Gray, looks for beauty and despises the middle class world. He leads an extraordinary life, which he lives as a work of art, and rejects the basic rules of morality and social interaction. However, this extraordinary sensitivity also implies a certain corruption.

Dorian Gray is a young heir who makes friends with the corrupt and manipulative Lord Henry Wotton and the good-hearted Basil Hallward, who paints a portrait for him. After having this portrait painted, Dorian's ego is vastly inflated and he becomes very narcissistic which prompts Dorian to wish to become immortal and make his painting age instead of himself.
