Richard Week 6 Snippet

There is an interesting picture in page 219. Marjane was displayed as the portrait of Dorian Gray. According to the story, Basil Hallward drew a very handsome picture named Dorian Gray. The portrait started to look more demonic as Dorian started to commit more sins. This panel will be the allusion to Dorian Gray. the panels had shown that Marjane's face was slowly consumed by darkness, similar to Dorian Gray's portrait. However, Marjane did not commit any sins. As her face was the only body part that was shown in the panel, she was disembodied. since she was in Vienna, she was an outsider to everyone else. As time goes by, she even feel that herself is an outsider.
