If you are trying to hurt your brain, then instead of reading Dorian Grey, just watch a documentary on the history of documentaries and hit yourself with a hammer. It will be twice as fast and four times less painful. The symbol in the picture of Dorian grey is really quite simple, it is the picture of Dorian grey himself. In the beginning a friend paints a wonderful picture for Dorian. It symbolizes him so well that Dorian becomes jealous of its undying beauty. So Dorian exclaims how he wishes the picture would symbolize his body and that his body be forever beautiful like the picture. He doesn’t see the full affect of his wish until he is a dirt bag to an actress. Right after, he looks at the picture it has a look of cruelty. Then he commits worse and worse crimes while still having an innocent face of youth. Slowly he realizes the picture doesn’t only resemble his body but his very soul. One night he brings his friend (the artist) to see the painting. The artist sees how grotesque it is and wills Dorian to pray for repentance. Instead Dorian stabs him repeatedly (bag of dirt).
In the end, after Dorian has had his fill of the horrifying picture. He stabs it. Later someone walks in to see a beautiful picture on the wall and a (scum-of-the-earth dirt bag) disgusting man named Dorian on the ground with a knife in him. The symbol is Dorian’s picture and it represents his soul.
With all of its misspelled words and bags of dirt, i gladly announce this as my paper
