Fifty Shades Of Dorian Gray (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
Or perhaps it would be more accurate to say that he never sought to free himself from it. The hero, the debauched young Alphonse Gris in whom the erotic and stoically philosophical temperaments were so strangely blended, became to Dorian a kind of prefiguring type of himself. The whole book seemed to him to contain the story of his own life, written before he had lived it. There were some differences, however: For instance, the Frenchman had not fallen in love with and nearly married his half-sister. In that regard, Dorian felt he had lived a less fortunate life than Alphonse, and that the anonymous author had flawed the work by not including such an experience in the Parisian’s repertoire of indecency. Another point in which Dorian and Alphonse lacked common ground was, of course, where Dorian lacked it with every other mortal: Alphonse, like all men who do not die young, died a slow death over many agonizing years. He developed a dread of mirrors. The polished metal surfaces, the pure, still water—all that were once his echo of solace and source of contentment became grotesque objects of horror.
