The story shows that people since the begging of time have shown that they stand out from regular society. That they are better by the way they dress, and the way they act. It was also the start of the Industrial Revolution seeing that more people were wealthier than usual. The poor got poorer and down upon with even more scorn. As when Basil couldn't believe Dorian would love someone so beneath him.

Victorian Blog #1 (Characterzation)
Dorian Gray a man of such beauty that he is supposedly a necessity in others lifes. Simple minded at least until his true spirit is shown when Henry unlocks it from deep within. Maybe the threat to end his life was the first sign of his sadistic soul showing it's obsession over youth. Others speak so highly of him only if they iknew the truth. Basil is the first to take a glimpse. Seeing more Henry in him than Dorian. It makes you think was there really a Dorian he is always seen following never leading.
Victorian Blog #1 (Relationship)
The relationship between Basil, Lord Henry, and Dorian Gray is weird at most. At first Basil was obsessed with Dorian Gray feeling that he was drawn to him by his personality or physical apperance. Dorian on the other hand finds Basil dull at most. Lord Henry sometimes seems as if he is what he claims he dislikes. Henry changes Dorian's statae of mind until he is ready to kill himsel if thats not manipulation I don't know what is.
Victorian Blog #1 (Romance)
The so called romance between Dorian Gray and Sibyl Bane reminds me of the relationship between Romeo and Juliet. There love was only skin deep. Dorian found one flaw, and was through with her. He felt that he needed to see her everyday that it was a neccesity. In the end only two things came out of the relationship was the death of Sibyl Bane. Also the act of Dorian accepting the terms of beingyoung the rest of his life.

More Misery (Ch.19-21)
Victor and Henry have set off for Scotland sadly at first this was all I knew. I think it would have been to not hear anything at all. I've heard that they've found Henry dead with black marks around his neck. Worst of all they believe my Victor is the murderer. This is too much to take.

Counting Away The Days (Chapter 13-14)
I can't bear it I'm couting away the days he's been gone! I can only imagine what he is going through right now. I always wonder if he thinks about me as much as I do him. I can't wait for him to return he is the only thing I have left. I just feel so tired of it all.
