That is the first time the portrait changes. Dorian breaks up with her for that and Sybil kills herself. She plays very bad and when Dorian asks her for an explanation she tells him she can't act being in love. He asks her to marry him and she accepts. Than Dorian falls in love with the actress Sybil Vane. He gives Dorian a book about enjoying life and nothing else and Dorian strictly follows the rules of the book. He has a hedonistic way of life and influences Dorian a lot. Dorian spends more and more time with Lord Henry Wotton. He said he would even give his soul for that. Because of that Dorian wishes never to grow old and instead his portrait will grow old. A friend of Basils, Lord Henry Wotton, warns Dorian that he soon will be old and ugly. A friend of his, Basil Hallward, paints his portrait. He is a beautiful young man in his twenties. The main character in the book is Dorian Gray. The end was the nicest part of the book, finally some action. The end was really a surprise to me, I had not expected this. The picture is as it was at first and Dorian is dead, old and ugly. The end is closed, the story is finished. It's an opening in the event, first you get a description of the surroundings, the atmosphere and then you get into a conversation between Basil and Harry, you don't know anything about them yet or what they are talking about.
