Throughout the novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, the author Wilde talks about Henry's influence which causes the effect of Henry's characterization towards the point of view regarding women, marriage and love. In the text, Dorian exposes Henry's influence. For example, after the incident of Sibyl's death caused Dorian to have an emotional breakdown. At this time, Henry offers Dorian some suggestions, however, the reflection of Dorian's emotions may later appear to be a drastic change from sympathy to indifference towards the incident of his lover Sibyl, thus Henry represented a strong image of Dorian's influences .
