The dagger is lodged deep in the chest of the rather ugly looking man. The older man is lying on the ground in a pool of blood. The painting of a beautiful young man lays beside him – almost unrecognisable – it is slashed and torn. Gray is dead.
The readers of the novella Dorian Gray are stunned at the end of the story. An unexpected swap takes place. Gray’s beautiful physical appearance changes instantly – the interior of his soul is displayed on the canvas. Unbelievable! The man’s true character is suddenly revealed in the once young and vibrant image of the man in the painting. Dorian slashes the canvas with the same knife he is about to kill himself with — an excellent concept by the writer. By stabbing the portrait, Dorian inadvertently kills himself. The authentic old Dorian – his character – is displayed at the end. The image changes from the inside out.
Also, read the contrasts and comparisons with Lady Macbeth and Dr Faustus (Shakespeare).
