What he made of it...now this was the question. The answer in reality was that he viewed it in a purely nostalgic tone. It reminded him of better days. Better days with Basil, with Sibyl, with Oscar, before he messed everything up, before he sold his soul and ruined everything (as often happens with Dorian). And he still wasn't entirely sure what to make of the ending, Oscar's belief that killing Dorian was a service to him, the nicest thing he could have done.
"You've got to understand that going through my life sharing a name with Dorian Gray of the book has left me with a unique perspective on the whole thing." And hey, that's technically true. "But the man has some interesting qualities. Say what you will about all the negative aspects--and there are plenty of negative aspects--but he's tenacious." Which was a word that some would use to describe Dorian himself.
"That being said, I've always had a fondness for Wilde's prose and the way he writes certain characters--you'll need to read 'The Importance of being Earnest' after this, by the way. And say what you will about the man, but he certainly provides some unique insights into the human condition."
