Offtopic:Simply love that story. Its the perfect illustration of my belief of how beauty is simply undefined and isn't limited to just one sex alone. Lol! I actually wrote an *cough* (egocentric) */cough* post on the subject once (hey people can get a bit annoying sometimes Lol!
http://www.zorpia.com/otherlands/journals (third journal from the top.) Ontopic: The character Dorian seems to come off as the model androgyne to me so based upon his secretive characteristics and that charm, I would have to qualify him as either a Gemini or a Libra with a Scorpio influence somewhere. Basil Hallward... Possibly a Virgo for he fell in love with Dorian based upon a personal preception of what is perfect. IP: Logged |

If I get a migraine later I will blame you and your lurid yellow background. For anyone with time to spend the story is up on the 'net if you google it. The link is a bit long to put in. The film "Wilde" with Stephen Fry and Jude Law (back when he was young) was very good, too. Why not save the effort reading and watch that instead, lol, the story is based on that naughty boy Bosie, who lead poor old Mr Wilde to ruin. Like I say, my friend was a big fan, I got to hear all about this quite a lot, lol.

great story-I don't know-the character might have had alot of plutonic stuff going on. He was willing to go deep no matter what. I can see the virgo suggestion, but would not consider a virgo as manipulative as dorian grey. maybe i am wrong. IP: Logged |

What about Harry and Sibyl? I think Harry's a Sag. I think Sibyl's a Scorpio. I also guessed that Dorian was a Gem, although at times I thought he might be a Leo. As for Basil Hallward, I'm a little unsure, but I think he's a Pisces. IP: Logged |
