Whilst I can fully appreciate the themes Wilde puts forward; the corruption of youth, the tainted influence of vanity, the fascinating prospect of observing the degradation of the soul, the novel simply fell short on the developments of the characters themselves. Of course, he did a magnificent job in portaying Gray as the controversial youth he is intended to be, but that accounts for the entirety of his being, and his role as the protagonist of the novel. There are no intriguing back stories, no slices of gripping history behind the names and simply an over-abundance of the rich man's dinner parties that served no purpose but to show us the day-to-day life of Dorian Gray. One chapter could have fulfilled this role sufficiently. Was Wilde satirising the upper class or simply being overbearingly pretentious? The poetic dialogue that just screamed 'theatre' between Lord Harry/Henry (really?) and the Duchess (I believe it was) toward the end of the novel was verging on the ridiculous. Wilde clearly wrote the part of Lord Henry as a vehicle for his own philosophies. An eccentric, contradictory and frankly annoying character, I only just managed to cope with his presence for the 250-or-so pages and was glad it ended there. I can completely understand why Wilde wanted him in the story, however. He, in one entity, presented both reality and shady deception for Dorian that essentially led him to his fate. It seems Lord Henry was the vessel for Wilde's interesting musings about the world, or perhaps those that he didn't agree with. Either way, his perpetual offering of "thought-provoking" advice, slogans, phrases and proverbs became transparent and almost boring. Wilde did have a lot to say with this novel, and thankfully, he's worth listening to.
