He is influenced into immoral activities by Lord Henry, who is often seen as a Devilish figure. Dorian is inspired by—but later kills—Basil Hallward, an artist known for his lavish paintings. All three characters, but Lord Henry particularly, contribute a fair share of paradoxical epigrams to foreshadow and explain the novel’s course, allowing the novel’s truth to be “seen around a corner.” One of the novel’s most well-known proverbs is when Lord Henry…

Samuel followed God’s command to anoint a new king for Israel from the sons of Jesse the Bethlehemite. Samuel made the judgement of the future king based on his appearance and statue, and thought that Eliab, the eldest son of Jesse, would be the king.
