One of the elements of The Gothic used in Oscar Wilde's novel is sublime. Everything is romanticized, every detail described as magnificent. I also see the element of Parents vs. Youth between Henry and Dorian. Although Henry isn't technically Dorian's parent, he acts as a guide in Dorian's transition into manhood. Henry is the one who convinces Dorian that looks are everything, that as long as you look perfect, you will be loved. Dorian isn't his own person, Henry molded him into the monster that had become of him. Henry took Dorian's naive personality and creating something horrible. Before Dorian is immature, he blames others (Basil) for his shortcomings and throws temper tantrums as if he is a little boy. There is also the damsel, Sybil, who is a struggling actress. Unfortunately, Dorian isn’t the hero due to the fact that his rejection of Sybil immediately results in her suicide. 

Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray is a classic novel filled with seduction, drugs, and sex. It's based around the concept of moral ethic or lack thereof. Overall, The Picture of Dorian Gray was an entertaining and dark read. I enjoyed it.
