Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who painted the titular picture?

Answer: Basil Hallward

The novel opens with Basil's initial refusal to show his work publicly. He initially claims that he put too much of himself into the painting, before admitting his infatuation with Dorian Gray.

2. What does Dorian Gray wish for during Hallward's and Lord Henry's conversation after seeing the completed portrait?

Answer: Everlasting youth

He wishes that the painting of him would bear the effects of age that would have originally befallen him. The wish was made as an offhand comment in response to Lord Henry's observation that Dorian would grow older and uglier.

3. What was Sybil Vane known for portraying onstage?

Answer: Shakespearean heroines

Dorian reveals his engagement to her after watching her in a production of "Romeo and Juliet". Her playhouse was located in the slums of London.

4. What nickname does Sybil Vane call Dorian?

Answer: Prince Charming

This becomes a significant plot point, since it was the only clue that James Vane, Sybil's brother, had when tracking Dorian in the latter half of the book.

5. What event creates the portrait's first change?

Answer: Dorian Gray breaking up with Sybil

A faint sneer appears after Dorian Gray spurns Sybil. The changes gradually become worse as Dorian continues his hedonistic adventures. Since James Vane is only armed with this knowledge, he narrowly misses Dorian Gray as he leaves the opium den.

6. What is Sybil Vane's fate?

Answer: Suicide

She could not handle Dorian's rejection, and kills herself only hours after their argument. Dorian is quickly convinced by Lord Henry to view her death as her final performance.

7. Initially, what color is the book that becomes Dorian's obsession in Chapter Ten?

Answer: Yellow

He soon buys the book in a litany of colors, so each color could reflect his current mood. It depicts a Parisian who collects philosophies from other centuries.

8. What does Basil beseech Dorian to do right before Basil is stabbed?

Answer: Ask for forgiveness

Dorian becomes enraged after Basil's request, and stabs Basil to death. He disposes of Basil's body by blackmailing a chemist, Alan Campbell, to use chemicals from his laboratory.

9. After pursuing Dorian for days, how does James Vane die?

Answer: Shot by hunters

Hunters missed their target, a hare, and accidentally shot the bush that James was hiding behind. Ironically, Dorian asked the hunters not shoot the hare, but his pleas were unheeded.

10. What happens to Dorian at the end of the book?

Answer: He stabs his potrait, which reverses the two Dorians, resulting in his death.

He used the knife that he used against Basil. After he dies, the only way his servants could recognize him was from the rings on his hands.
