What is the connection between dorian gray and his picture?
Yes! Oscar Wilde, the author of The Picture of Dorian Gray, was suspected of being gay for Lord Alfred Douglas, and Dorian was used as evidence against him in court. The book is often treated as a semi-autobiography for Oscar, because Oscar is very similar to Dorian Gray, and Douglas is very similar to Henry. Since homosexuality was very much frowned upon in the Victorian Era, Oscar Wilde's only option for expressing himself was through literature.Underlying homosexual tensions are found between Basil and Dorian, and Dorian and Lord Henry. Basil doesn't act out on his desired physically, but his worship through art makes it apparent. Lord Henry, on the other hand, is very decadent in thought, but because he is so old, he can't do much of what he advises Dorian to do. He wants Dorian to revel in the decadent lifestyle while he is still young. In the Lippincott edition of Dorian, there are several more explicit chapters that reveal homosexual behavior amongst the characters.I can't even name heterosexual male characters from that novel. Basil was gay, the rest were bisexual.Basil all but says "I love you, Dorian".

How does sybil change in the picture of dorian gray?
When Dorian first sees Sybil Vane, she is an actress on stage - she is an art; however, when Dorian and Sybil meet, and Dorian confesses his love to her, something in Sybil changes. Her change can be undoubtedly be seen in chapter seven, when she performs on stage in as Juliet, the play in which Dorian and Lord Henry go to see. Sybil exhibits none of the poise, skill, emotion, or grace as she had before. Instead, she "showed no sign of joy when her eyes rested on Romeo" and "the staginess of her acting grew worse as she went on. Her gestures became absurdly artificial" (87). Sybil is no longer an actress; she is no longer an art. She no longer sees herself as only an actress in life. Now, she has committed herself to reality, and Dorian is furious. Dorian only loved the art in Sybil because Dorian himself is an art, and his painting is his reality. After the show, Dorian tells Sybil in an outrage that "you have killed my love" (91). The next morning, despite Dorian's changed state of mind to write Sybil an apology letter, he hears news that Sybil has died by probable suicide.
