Lord Henry is a symbol of the hedonistic and (DECAY) upper classes that enjoyed the ridiculing the Victorian virtues of work and morals, generally associated with middle classes. Truth is regarded as an (NECESSARY) and awkward obstacle for pleasure. Henry freely admits to lying to his wife just as the lies to him, stating that in (MARRY). secrets are absolutely necessary. He provides us with some epigrams, short, clever and (AMUSE). sentences which Wilde himself was famous for - such as 'I can believe anything if it is incredible'. Against this background Basil communicates to Henry (and consequently us as readers) the (EMOTION)_ disturbance Dorian Gray has created. The relationship between the artist and the sitter is not one of equal feelings and it represents a series of (OPPOSE)_ : Basil adores Dorian and has to see him every day, as he is absolutely necessary for his art. Dorian, however, is at best charming but at times enjoys hurting the artist. The (ADORE) that Basil feels for the 'young Adonis' is disturbing (MIX). of terror and sorrow.
