Victorian blogs #1: Romance: Dorian and Sibyl Vane
The romance between Dorian and the lovely Sibyl Vane starts of beautiful and true. They are together in love forever but as soon as Vane behaved in a way that Dorian saw as embarrassing he turns his back on her. Dorian is not truly in love as Vane is. He simply uses her as an adventure and as his adventure came to an end, so does her life. This romance helped me realize what a horrible person Dorian and Lord Henry are. They don't even care that she is dead; they simply see it as an adventure. Lord Henry even wishes that he had a chance to go on the same adventure. As a result of his cruelty to Vane, Dorian for the first time notices some major changes to his picture.

I completely agree with you when you say that when you read this you finally saw the horrids in the personalities of these to men. It disgusted me to read that, no not disgusted, I was more repulsed and neauseated! Uhg! What kind of "men" are they! They are acting more as animals with no feelings! Heartless!!!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I'm back to you..not too many Dorian posts..grr. I can't complain too much though. I took a while. Anyway..Yes, yes, and yes. Except I'm not sure how true Sybil was. Do you think it's possible that she was in love with love, rather than loving Dorian? I saw that. Just asking for your opinion..(:
ReplyDeleteI believe that she was in love with his appearence. I expect he will be seeing Sibyl's brother soon.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you completely. I hate how he says that he is "kind of relieved". it makes me so mad. He has no feelings at all!
