Questions<\/u><\/h2>\n\n\n
1)<\/b><\/td>\nWhat is the main idea of this chapter?<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n
2)<\/b><\/td>\nWotton is concerned that Dorian will be implicated in the investigation into Sibyl's death. He tells him, "Things like that make a man fashionable in Paris. But in London people are so prejudiced. Here, one should never make one's debut with a scandal."What does "scandal" mean?<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n
3)<\/b><\/td>\nDorian says, "So I have murdered Sibyl Vane."<\/p>\n

What does he mean?<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n
4)<\/b><\/td>\nWhich two things does Dorian realize he will have?<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n
5)<\/b><\/td>\nDescribing the circumstances surrounding Sibyl's death, Wotton tells Dorian, They ultimately found her lying dead on the floor of her dressing–room."<\/p>\n

What does "ultimately" mean? <\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n
6)<\/b><\/td>\nDorian feels that he could have prevented Sibyl's death by honoring his marriage proposal. He feels that his decision to change his behavior came too late. Lord Wotton has a different opinion: "Good resolutions are simply a useless attempt to interfere with scientific laws. Their origin is pure vanity. Their result is absolutely nil." What does "resolution" mean? <\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n
7)<\/b><\/td>\nHarry Wotton envies Dorian's experience, saying that no woman has ever killed herself for love of him, as Sibyl seems to have done for Dorian. Instead, his lovers "have always insisted on living on, long after I had ceased to care for them, or they to care for me . . . they go in at once for reminiscences. That awful memory of woman! What a fearful thing it is! And what an utter intellectual stagnation it reveals!"<\/p>\n

What does "stagnation" mean? <\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n
8)<\/b><\/td>\nDorian wonders if his prayer for eternal youth might have been granted, and for a moment considers praying to undo the effect. But then he thinks, "And, yet, who . . . would surrender the chance of remaining always young, however fantastic that chance might be, or with what fateful consequences it might be fraught?"<\/p>\n

What does "surrender" mean?<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n
9)<\/b><\/td>\nBy the end of the chapter, what are Dorian's feelings about the portrait? <\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n
