Read Chapters 11 and 12 in The Picture of Dorian Gray. Chapter 11 is a pivotal chapter in the novel. While the first few pages contain some of the most interesting paragraphs regarding Dorian's fall into decadence, much of the chapter follows the format of A Rebours, the yellow book Lord Henry gives to Dorian. Remember, the yellow book follows the moral decline of the young Parisian through description. As you read, you may skim the paragraphs devoted to describing Dorian's mutliple obsessions/collections. When you come to paragraphs where some plot development seems to occur, read them carefully.
Chapter 12 is crucial. Read it carefully. Mark it up. We will read Chapter 13 together on Thursday.
Blessings!
