Second Reading Response

For my second reading response, I would like to take a look at the darker side of Dorian Gray that we first see rear its ugly head on page 76. After seeing the girl he claims to "love" act badly in the play he has come to know her for acting beautiful in, he then loses his love for her. Dorian becomes heartless and insults the girl as she tries her best to show her devotion to him, he is demeaning and ruthless and unlike the self that he has been portrayed as thus far. We get to see a glimpse of his true character and it makes me like him a lot less. He obviously doesn't care to get to know people and is more focused on the outward beauty which skewers his perception of how the person really is, whether bad or good, and she is seemingly on the good see. He himself possess this trait, pertaining to the bad side, outwardly he is beautiful and it makes people trust him but inwardly he is mean and malicious, he cannot do anything wrong yet he is so ruthless to people who do. I'm looking forward to seeing what other ugly things he does.
