 The Picture of Dorian GrayOscar WildeIn Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray, vain Dorian Gray has "sold himself to the devil for a pretty face." While Dorian remains young, his portrait ages and reflects his hedonistic lifestyle, as he pursues a "madness of pleasure" with little regard for anyone else.
