Dorian rejects Sibyl Vane
Dorian Gray confronts Sibyl Vane in her dressing room. She explains that her love for him has made her realize the unreality of acting, and she can no longer pretend. Instead of being moved, Dorian is cold and cruel, telling her she has killed his love and that she is nothing without her art. He leaves her in tears, vowing never to see her again.
