Immortality: After having his soul trapped within a painting, Dorian gained immortality.

He
does not age and seems to be immune to all conventional illnesses, diseases, viruses and
infections.
The legend tells of a learned doctor who sells his soul to the devil in return for knowledge and
magical abilities. Although Dorian Gray never contracts with the devil, his sacrifice is similar: he
trades his soul for the luxury of eternal youth.
Dorian Gray syndrome (DGS) denotes a cultural and societal phenomenon characterized by a
man's extreme pride in his personal appearance and the fitness of his physique, which
is accompanied by difficulties in coping with the requirements of psychological maturation and
with the aging of his body.
Now that Dorian has corrupted other people and committed murder, he knows that he has fully
given up on trying to live a good life and can be considered evil. In his mind's eye he sees Basil,
who appears as a timeless paragon of goodness, as well as memories of his former life,
and Dorian cannot bear the guilt.

The noise of it all, Lily. From the tumbrils on the way to the guillotine to the roaring mobs
sacking the temples of Byzantium. Since the fall of Byzantium (Constantinople) was in
1453, Dorian must be at least 400 years old.

In the second half of The Picture of Dorian Gray, Wilde uses the depiction of Dorian Gray as
an irrational narcissist to illustrate that self-obsession breeds destruction. One would believe
that once Dorian acknowledges the sins of rage and lust that he has committed against others,
he would try to right his wrongs.
