    Really wish you had made the animation blonde like he is supposed to be. Wilde made is overtly clear that he was a blue-eyed blonde. For a book that centers around Dorian's looks, I would have expected a more accurate portrayal.
    "Yes, he was certainly wonderfully handsome, with his finely curved scarlet lips, his frank blue eyes, his crisp gold hair."
    "The scarlet would pass away from his lips and the gold steal from his hair."
    "Dorian Gray lifted his golden head from the pillow"
    "Suddenly she caught a glimpse of golden hair and laughing lips, and in an open carriage with two ladies Dorian Gray drove past."
    "Was it to become a monstrous and loathsome thing, to be hidden away in a locked room, to be shut out from the sunlight that had so often touched to brighter gold the waving wonder of its hair?"
    "Gold hair, blue eyes, and rose-red lips - they all were there."

    he doesn't love her becaue of her acting talent, but because she is great and he feels great by association. she loses her lustre as soon Dorian's buddy dissaproves of her; shes not great anymore and DOrian, typical narcissist, doesn't want his great him be associated with her lesser her. how often guys dump their girlfriends because their male buddy didnt approve...

    I couldn’t finish this book as Dorian is such a loathsome creature who deserves neither respect nor love. You cannot blame anyone for his fall. It would be like reading a book about Hitler. He proceeds to bring others down with him. The book may be wonderful bit Dorian is too loathsome to read about.
