Time and time again the confrontations between Dorian Gray and his true nature causes Dorian to change his personality almost instantly. During his first confrontation of his true nature of innocence with Lord Henry, “Then had come Lord Henry Wotton with his strange panegyric on youth, his terrible warning of it brevity.

I have always thought about that. His eyes were stern when I told him he was no longer my father but a priest. He said, 'This is a strong dream.'" "I missed something."

When Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray, first version was published it received horrible reviews from critics. The novel’s first version was published in “Lippincott's Monthly Magazine” in July, 1890’s issue. “The St. James Gazette of June 20, 1890, refers to the ‘garbage of the French Décadents’ and the ‘prosy rigmaroles’ of the story.” There was another review 10 days later from the Daily Chronicles that called the novel a “poisonous book.” The reason why the critics’ reactions to the novel

The moment that Dorian Gray asked Basil to see his secret, me, being the reader felt worried for Basil. Their relationship has become less and less close throughout the years that Dorian has been under the influence of his book and portrait. In previous chapters Dorian went to extreme extents and threats of violence to keep the portrait out of vision. Dorian shows Basil the portrait and Basil is appalled.
