Ngl, despite the fact I hated how he was influencing Dorian with his hedonistic ways (making Dorian into a lab rat to verify if his philosophies were true) with no conscience, his views on the world were pretty interesting, if highly disagreeable. His views on women were especially horrid. He was probably the most quotable character in the novel but his long 'soliloquies' got tiring fast. He was all talk and charisma but there was no substance, meaning behind what he was saying, no action. Aka his blindspot Fi , apathetic Ti and lack of Te triggered me at times, despite the grandeur that was his Ne-Fe combo. He talked around in circles, was a living paradox and essentially represented myself in my most unhealthy state - which is partially why I love and hate him at the same time.
Biography
An imperious aristocrat and a decadent dandy who espouses a philosophy of self-indulgent hedonism. Initially Basil's friend, he neglects him for Dorian's beauty. The character of witty Lord Harry is a critique of Victorian culture at the Fin de siècle – of Britain at the end of the 19th century. Lord Harry's libertine world view corrupts Dorian, who then successfully emulates him. To the aristocrat Harry, the observant artist Basil says, "You never say a moral thing, and you never do a wrong thing." Lord Henry takes pleasure in impressing, influencing, and even misleading his acquaintances (to which purpose he bends his considerable wit and eloquence) but appears not to observe his own hedonistic advice, preferring to study himself with scientific detachment. His distinguishing feature is total indifference to the consequences of his actions.
