The plot focuses on Dorian Gray, a narcissistic man, who is the center of a portrait painted by the artist Basil Hallward. Hallward is deeply captivated and impressed by Dorian Gray's beauty. As Gray realizes that his beauty is short-lived and will soon fade with time and age, he is filled with a desire to stay young and beautiful forever. Overcome with lust for eternal youth, Gray sells his soul so that the portrait weathers and reflects all the experiences of Dorian Gray, both good and amoral.
