5)A poor , beautiful and talented actress.
6)In the novel The Picture of Dorian Gray by O .Wilde the eponymous character Dorian follows the lifestyle of New Hedonism .This lifestyle advocates a complete abandon to your impulses,and does not believe in following social dictates or morals.
7) No,he didn't regret .
8)At the end of the novel,Dorian grasps that the toll of leading such hedonistic life was too great and he decides, too late, to make a change.
9) I think The Picture of Dorian Gray refers quite straightforwardly to two portraits : first of all, the very literal picture of Dorian painted by Basil,and secondly the literary "picture "Wilde creates in the novel.
10) I liked this book very much. O.Wilde paints beautiful portraits of his characters. It is very actual theme nowadays ,too. I consider,Wilde wanted people not to be obsessed with the good looks of their youth. So called "narcissism" it is not good. The relatioship between beauty and morality it is very interesting for me.The lesson learnt at the end of the story , of how Dorian ends up a victim of his own wishes. Qualities such vanity and pride are terrible.
