Listen "The Picture of Dorian Gray, Part 3"
Episode Synopsis
Book Summary;
As Dorian Gray sinks into a life of crime and gross sensuality, his body retains perfect youth and vigor while his recently painted portrait grows day by day into a hideous record of evil, which he must keep hidden from the world.
Words I had to look up in order to read this book;
- Bismuth-whitened; a powder used in stage makeup.
- Querulously; always eager to complain.
- Espial; an act of noticing.
- Tableau; a group of models or motionless figures representing a scene from a story or from history; a tableau vivant.
- Affectations; behaviour, speech, or writing that is pretentious and designed to impress.
- Prig; a self-righteously moralistic person who behaves as if they are superior to others.
- Puritan; a member of a 16th and 17th century Protestant group in England and New England opposing as unscriptural the ceremonial worship and the prelacy of the Church of England.
