“I [Alan] have no desire to help you. You forget that. I am simply indifferent to the whole thing. It was nothing to do with me” (Wilde 174).

When Dorian’s true colors are revealed, he looses his charm. Dorian manipulated and ruined Alan Campbell life and expected him to come to his rescue. Dorian paints himself as a damsel in distress and is just wanting for his prince to come and help with the most horrible crime. Dorian use to be friends with Alan, and he sucked the life of Alan. The man was talented musician and also a great scientist. With small time he spent with Dorian he distanced himself with music and constricted himself to only science. They started as inseparable friends and then Alan could not stand the sight of him and that ones of his passions died. He met Dorian through music that would give him a good reason to dislike it so much. Despite ruining the man’s life, Dorian sends for him. He was getting angry with the thought of Basil. When Alan gets to him Dorian throws himself at his pity. He begs and pleads with Alan for his help and Alan was indifferent to his words. It was like Dorian’s beauty could no longer hide his true self. Alan did yield to Dorian’s charm or sweet word but had to do the deed because he had a terrible secret. In the hopes of protecting his good name he plays by Dorian’s rules. What is sad about this is that he thinks that he is the man pulling the strings of a puppet not realizing that he is the greatest puppet of all times.

“He began to brood over those verses which… tell of that curious statue that Gautier compares to a contralto voice, the ‘monstre charmant’ that couches in the porphyry-room of the Louvre” (169).

The delightful monster it is in better words describing who Dorian is. He is a charming and deceitful person. He was the man people want to meet and be with but once they discover who he is would not even approach him. He has no respect for anything and has arrogance in his speech and in his comportment. Dorian believes that the whole world owns him and that he is better than everyone else and has nothing to give back. His is like a muse or a portrait in a museum because he is there to be admired and nothing else. What gives him is power is the importance he gets from people.
