H/W 4th December 2017Dorian Gray: Chapter 16 – West End of London
EAST END QUOTATION ANALYSIS
From some of the bars came the sound of West End is evil and uncivilised – drunkards
horrible laughter. In others, drunkards brawled fighting, screaming associated with death and
and screamed violence
There were opium-dens, where one could Can’t escape from sins, but can forget the
buy oblivion, dens of horror where the ones that have the heaviest/ oldest burden
memory of old sins could be destroyed by to make new ones, madness of new sins are
madness of sins that were new more exciting and thrilling
From time to time a huge misshapen cloud ‘misshapen’ – isn’t prefect like the West End,
stretched a long arm across and hid [the hiding everything in the shadows
moon]
The gas lamps grew fewer and the streets Nothing is grand like West End, it is all dying
grew more narrow and gloomy ad gloomy,
A dog barked as they went by, and far away in Threat of everything (‘dog barked’), the
the darkness some wandering seagull seagull is vermin, it screamed – is scared? Is
screamed wandering, has no destination
[silhouettes] moved like monstrous Darkness hides secrets, Dorian’s secrets are
marionettes scary, shadows are alive like his dark/ evil
soul
Ugliness that had once been hateful to him The ugliness of West End shows true self of
because it made things real, became dear to London, represents true self of Dorian, prefers
him now for that very reason that to falseness of East End/ his society
Over the low roofs and jagged chimney- Everything is low, like the status of people,
stacks of the houses jagged = uneven, not perfect
Wreaths of white mist clung like ghostly sails Wreaths = representation of death, like the
hell of London (East = heaven)
The light shook and splintered in the puddles Damaged and splintered life, represents that
all of life isn’t perfect – puddle = reflection
[Dorian] looked round at the grotesque things Things are people, shows that these people are
that lay in such fantastic postures on the lesser than rest of society, they are fantastic =
ragged mattresses better than those who are perfect but they are
dead, ragged = not perfect
He knew in what strange heavens they were Heaven they are suffering, hell they are
suffering, and what dull hells were teaching enjoying, juxtaposed – representing society –
them the secret of some new joy East End is like heaven (they suffer) and West
End is like hell (they enjoy)
“You fool! You should have killed him. he has All they are interested in is money, don’t try to
lots of money” hide their interests – are honest, brutal
