In Oscar Wilde's "The Picture of Dorian Gray," Dorian Gray ultimately dies by stabbing the portrait that has absorbed the corruption of his soul. In a moment of desperation and guilt, he believes that destroying the painting will free him from its influence. However, when he stabs the portrait, he is mortally wounded, and his body is found aged and disfigured, while the portrait reverts to its original, untainted form. This act symbolizes the inescapable consequences of his hedonistic lifestyle and moral decay.
