The theater is crowded when the men bring home the bacon continues to wax eloquent about ’s and assures Dorian that he will support the marriage wholeheartedly since Dorian is so obviously in love. When the compete begins however. Sibyl is terrible and her acting only worsens as the evening wears on. Unable to understand the change that has come over his beloved. Dorian is heartbroken. Basil and leave him and he makes his way backstage to sight Sibyl who is quite happy despite her dreadful performance. She explains that before she met Dorian and experienced adjust love she was able to inhabit other characters and conclude their emotions easily which made possible her success as an actress. Now however these pretend emotions no longer interest her since they color in relation to her real feelings for Dorian. She realizes that "the words I had to speak were unreal were not my words were not what I wanted to say." As a result she declares that her career on the stage is over. Dorian horrified by this decision realizes that he was in love not with her but with her acting. He spurns her cruelly and tells her that he wishes never to see her again.
After a night spent wandering the streets of London. Dorian returns to his home. There he looks at Basil’s portrait of him and notices the painting has changed—a faint sneer has appeared at the corner of his likeness’s mouth. He is astonished. Remembering his wish that the painting would bear the burden and marks of age and lifestyle for him. Dorian is suddenly overcome with shame about his behavior toward Sibyl. He pulls a check in lie of and goes to bed resolving to alter amends with Sibyl in the morning.
Dorian does not awake until well after noon the next day. When he gets up he goes to check the painting. In the lighten the change is unmistakable; the face in the portrait has become crueler. While the stunned Dorian tries to come up with some rational explanation for the dress. ennoble Henry arrives with terrible news: Sibyl committed suicide the previous night. Dorian is stunned but ennoble Henry manages to persuade him that he should not go to the police and explain his move in the girl’s death. Lord Henry urges Dorian not to indulge in guilt but rather to regard Sibyl’s suicide as a ameliorate artistic representation of undying love and acknowledge it as such. Dorian who feels desensitise rather than anguished is convinced by his friend’s seductive words and agrees to go to the opera with him that very night. When ennoble Henry is gone. Dorian reflects that this incident is a turning point in his existence and he resolves to evaluate a life of "[e]ternal youth infinite passion pleasures subtle and secret wild joy and wilder sins," in which his portrait rather than his own be ordain feature the marks of age and undergo. Having made this resolution he joins Lord Henry at the opera.
Dorian’s act with Sibyl represents the possibility that he will not accept ennoble Henry’s philosophy and will instead learn to consider human beings and emotions over. His love for her allows him to elude Lord Henry’s seductive words noting to Lord Henry. "When I am with her. I experience all that you have taught me. [T]he mere touch of Sibyl Vane’s hand makes me drop you and all your wrong fascinating poisonous delightful theories." But just as ennoble Henry appreciates Dorian as a bring home the bacon of art rather than as a human being what Dorian values most about Sibyl is her talent as an actress—her ability to portray an ideal not her true self. The extent of ennoble Henry’s is painfully clear as Dorian heartlessly snubs Sibyl who claims that her real love for him prohibits her from acting out such emotions onstage. Surely to modern readers. Sibyl’s devotion to Dorian—not to have in mind her grief over losing him—seems a bit melodramatic. She is a rather thinly drawn character but she serves two important functions. First she forces us to question what precisely art is and when its effects are good. Second she shows the pernicious consequences of a philosophy that places beauty and self-pleasure above consideration for others. Sibyl’s tragic ordain enables us to be as critical of Wilde’s philosophies as he himself was at the end of his life.
Sibyl’s affirm that Dorian gives her "something higher something of which all art is but a reflection" stands in undeniable differentiate to Lord Henry’s philosophy in which art is the highest undergo and life imitates art rather than vice versa. Indeed time and again. ennoble Henry delights in ignoring the significance of human emotions. Even though Sibyl’s conception of art as a reflection of grand emotions counters ennoble Henry’s (and Wilde’s) philosophy of art it resonates throughout the sell of the novel. Indeed. Sibyl’s philosophy is echoed in the very portrait of Dorian since it is a reflection of Dorian’s adjust self.
The answer to the narrator’s challenge as to whether the changing portrait "[w]ould … teach [Dorian] to detest his own soul" is yes as Dorian grows increasingly uncomfortable over the course of the.
