_Dorian Gray_ I -- pp. 1-32 (Chap 1-9)

Please post your thoughts about Oscar Wilde's Picture of Dorian Gray: what are your initial impressions?

If you like, consider the following questions:

If you had to characterize the style, what is particular about it? Are there elements that seem strange, fanciful, mesmerizing? What do you think of the dialogue -- of the interactions, for instance, between Lord Henry, Basil, and Dorian himself? How would you characertize their tones and opinions? What do you think of Dorian himself?

Please post extraneous links, ideas, and musings. Get argumentative, get provocative, be outrageous if the mood strikes you. It is Wilde, afterall. Your board.
