7 Dorian faints from terror upon seeing Sibyl Vane's brother, James, stalking him.
9 After returning to London, Dorian informs Lord Henry of his decision to mend his ways. From now
on, he will correct his life and for now he abandons, without corrupting, his latest romantic
conquest: a beautiful young woman who lives in the countryside called Hetty Merton.

named Dorian Gray
4 Dorian blames Basil himself for his fate and stabs him in a fit of rage.
3 Dorian rejects Sibyl saying that her beauty lay in her art and since she could no longer act, then
he is no longer interested in her.
8 Dorian notices that the painting of Basil has changed, so he realizes that his wish has been
granted: the portrait now has a subtle sneer.
10 In a fit of fury, Gray attacks the painting with the same knife with which he murdered Basil.
2 Lord Henry chats about his own idea of the world and Dorian begins to convince himself that
beauty is the only thing worth having in life and wishes that the portrait, which Basil is painting,
would age in its place.
5 Dorian decides to reconcile with Sibyl, but the next morning Lord Henry gives him the news that
Sibyl has committed suicide by taking prussic acid.
