Unit 1: Look at me Now! (2nd_gr1)

 (At the following of what we did last time)

They are discovering it for the first time. Dorian seems to be falling in love with his own portrait. Upon seeing it, he is captivated, shaken by his beauty, mesmerized, in awe, in admiration in front of his portrait. He is amazed by himself. The piece of art is breathtaking for him. Nevertheless, he also goes through negative thoughts and feelings because he is becoming aware that his beauty will fade away as he will grow old. Moreover, the painting makes him aware of his own mortality.

To conclude, what is striking is that the fact that he falls in love with himself is completely narcissistic. One may say that he seems to be more scared about losing his beauty than dying.

Homework: Learn the lesson.
