My favorite thing ever is Dorian going "Women are so emotional" In the very same chapter that he flung himself onto a sofa, collapsed onto a chair, sobbed, and believed himself to be going insane.
Since everyone wants to see the connections between The Portrait of Dorian Gray and Izaya Orihara even though his favourite quote is from Lady Windermere I decided to keep that in mind while reading the book and my conclusions are:
Dorian Gray: Mikado Ryugamine
Basil Hallward: Masaomi Kida
Lord Henry: Izaya (BECAUSE NEITHER OF THEM EVER SHUT UP)
Going into reading The Picture of Dorian Gray I was expecting for Dorian to be this somewhat egotistical self-absorbed jerk simply based on what I absorbed via pop culture osmosis.
And then we get to chapter 2 and he’s just some pretty rich boy who seems like a decent person.
Up until Henry talks to him, I can’t help but feel like its all downhill from this point.
How Dorian Gray and Basil are NOT siblings ❤️🥀💕✨
Do I think Dorian is a piece of shit? Yes, I do
Is he still my precious baby boy who can do no wrong? Also yes
