How many pages are in the picture of Dorian Gray : I got a Kindle for Christmas and have been really enjoying the Amazon classics range.

Can a 13 year old read The Picture of Dorian Gray
This is helped by Wilde's relatively straightforward language, making it all the more readable. However, I would not particularly recommend it for anyone under 13 as the themes and comments on the values of individuals and society may not appeal as much to a younger audience.
Why is The Picture of Dorian Gray banned : It was censored in 1890 because of what was seen as its immoral sexual content, both heterosexual and homosexual in nature. According to Antonio Sanna, the heterosexual content was considered too vulgar for readers in the nineteenth century, and the homosexual content was considered sinful and illegal (Sanna 28).
How old is Dorian Gray at the end of the book 38. We are told that Dorian murders Basil on his 38th birthday in November, and the novel ends before the following November, so he is still 38. In a sense, the ending of The Picture of Dorian Gray is quite bleak and without much of anything close to a happy ending. But perhaps Wilde was insinuating much more with the ultimate death of Dorian Gray. While his character does end up dying at the end of the novel, we are given an image of the untainted picture.

His servants enter the room to find him dead on the floor, as ugly as his portrait once was, while the portrait looks beautiful once more.Dorian Havilliard is the crown prince of Adarlan, the eldest son of the King of Adarlan and Queen Georgina, older brother of Hollin Havilliard.It was censored in 1890 because of what was seen as its immoral sexual content, both heterosexual and homosexual in nature. According to Antonio Sanna, the heterosexual content was considered too vulgar for readers in the nineteenth century, and the homosexual content was considered sinful and illegal (Sanna 28).
