Through Basil, Dorian meets Lord HenryWotton, and he soon is enthralled by the aristocrat's hedonisticworldview: that beauty and sensual fulfilment are the only thingsworth pursuing in life. Newly understanding that his beauty will fade, Dorian expresses the desire to sell his soul, to ensure that thepicture, rather than he, will age and fade.
