The picture of Dorian grey by Oscar Wilde. So many ways to interpret the novel but was very entertaining.

@Mistypetal Yes with the picture of him as perfect being his God-given soul and his suicide a form of contrition and redemption as shown when the picture is restored to its pristine image, the idea that God is all forgives all. That of course is not open to interpretation as he mentions it in his letters to friends about the book being labelled immoral. Its an interesting concept considering his ambivalence over his own homosexuality and the betrayal he was committing against his wife and children.
