Dorian shows Basil the portrait

Dorian Gray leads Basil Hallward to the locked room and reveals the hideously transformed portrait. Basil is horrified to see the leering, aged, and evil face that is the true record of Dorian's sins. He urges Dorian to pray and repent, but Dorian, in a fit of rage and hatred, blames Basil for his fate.
