... Examine the significance of the portrait in "The Picture of Dorian Gray." The portrait in the book was originally painted by Basil Hallward who believed it was the greatest thing he had ever done. Everyone admired the painting and it wins him the respect of all his friends. Another significance of the portrait to Basil Hallward is that it poignantly turned out to be the cause of his own death when Dorian madly murders him, as he was the man who painted the portrait that went so wrong. "The mad passions of a wild animal stirred within him..." (Dorian Gray) This shows how angry and disturbed Dorian had become. The portrait was also a physical representation of Basil's fascination with Dorian and how much he admired him that the painting he did was thought to be the best he had ever done. This leads to the significance of the portrait and Dorian.
