Going to the window, he sees a bright dawn. To Dorian, the face in the portrait has slightly changed, taking on a look of cruelty around the mouth. He begins to undress but pauses and returns to the library to look at the portrait. He is startled and puzzled, but he goes on into his bedroom. Passing through his library toward his bedroom, he notices the portrait that Basil painted of him. Dorian wanders the streets until near dawn and then returns home. As she cries hysterically, she begins to recount her brother's threat to kill anyone who harms her, but she shakes off the thought, reminding herself out loud that the threat was just a joke.ĭorian is annoyed with Sybil and tells her that he cannot see her anymore. Sobbing, she falls to the floor and begs him not to leave her.

Apologizing for her bad performance, she pleads with Dorian to give her another chance. Now he finds her 'shallow and stupid' and can barely stand her.

He loved her because she was a great performer, he says.

She asks Dorian to take her away so that they might begin their life together.ĭorian's response is cold and filled with disgust: 'You have killed my love,' he mutters. She intended to be outstanding, she says, but because Dorian has taught her 'what reality really is,' she no longer can believe in the fake world of plays. In the greenroom after the play is finished, Sibyl seems overjoyed at her dismal performance and expects Dorian to understand that she can no longer act because she has found true love in real life. Lord Henry and Basil leave, as does half the audience, but Dorian sits through the entire play. She seems listless and artificial in fact, she is absolutely awful.ĭorian is more disgusted than embarrassed by Sybil's acting. Her performance, however, is worse than disappointing. When Sibyl appears onstage as Juliet, Lord Henry thinks she is one of the 'loveliest creatures' he has seen, fawn-like in her grace and innocence. The theatre is crowded when Dorian, Basil, and Lord Henry arrive.
