Line 9:
A tale of corruption and obsession that is surprisingly dark for the author of ''[[The Importance of Being Earnest]], et alia.''

▲=== Tropes in adaptations include: ===
* [[Adaptation Dye Job]]: In the original novel, Dorian was blond. In pretty much every modern adaptation (the 1970 one with Helmut Berger is a notable exception), he's portrayed with black hair. It has a lot to do with the way beauty standards have changed over time.
* [[Even the Guys Want Him]]: Ben Chaplin almost enjoyed kissing Ben Barnes.
