Oscar Wilde paints a picture of the perfect
man in The Picture of Dorian Gray, one of his
best known works. Dorian Gray is the most
handsome man in London. Born in an illustrious
family and extremely wealthy, he is the best
England has to offer. Not surprisingly, he is the
talk of the entire female population of the coun
try. But romance, and its downfall, is only one
aspect of this novel. Larger moral questions are
concerned, especially for a man who will never
feel the effects of his crimes.
Gray is symbolic of man and the moral dilem
mas he faces. This book questions the very moral
fiber of mankind by asking: If a man could do
anything without fear of retribution, would he?
According to Wilde, every man must face temp
tation and, specifically, the devil mid God. In this
book, those opposing factors take human faces.
While Gray’s friends are not literally God and
the devil, they represent the two by giving op
posing advice in every moral situation.
These decisions are difficult enough, but what
if one could live forever? Would the boredom of
everyday life lead one to commit acts that would
be unthinkable in a normal life?
These questions stem from the fact that Dori
an Gray will remain the same charming, and,
most importantly, young, man forever. Through a
pact with a force that is never revealed. Gray
trades his soul for the ability to stay young forev
er. In his place, a portrait of him will bear the
marks of his sins. Throughout the book, the read
er is able to see how a man in Gray’s position, a
man with nearly unlimited powers, would act.
The Picture of Dorian Gray is one of Wilde’s
best works and definitely one of the most
thought-provoking. It is definitely worth a read,
but the language can be difficult to force one’s
way through. The book begins rather slowly, but
picks up pace. Readers should give the book
time to develop and not be discouraged by the
extensive foreshadowing. (Grade: B+)

body after regurgitation, resulting in
a deceptively healthy appearance.
Shannon Lippa, a junior speech
communications major, said she
knows several girls who have eating
disorders. Many of her friends with
the disorder are freshmen, who are
worried about gaining the “fresh
man 15.”
“Two of my friends have been
hospitalized for bulimia,” Lippa
said. “It makes me so sad to think
that my friends are destroying their
bodies in order to live up to society’s
image of a perfect body. Everyone
wishes that they are skinnier, but
there are healthy ways to go about
losing weight.”
Rahn said there are many side ef
fects to eating disorders. Some of the
short-term side effects are loss or
thinning of hair, irregular or no men
strual periods, insomnia, dizziness
and moodiness. Some of the long
term effects are tooth decay, malnu
trition, loss of muscle mass and, for
bulimics, stomach and esophagus
problems. She said many people do
not realize that women can hurt their
reproductive organs and that death
can occur.
Reed said that even though bu
limia is the most common eating dis
order, it is not the most severe.
Anorexia can cause the body to go
into starvation mode and basically
waste away. When asked, an anorex
ic may say she has been eating.
However, she may not mention that
she is not getting proper nutrition.
One student who wishes only to
be known as “Lynn” had an en
counter with a girl who had anorex
ia. Lynn was on an organizational
trip when she noticed that one girl
was not eating.
“She kept saying that she didn't
like this, or she didn’t like that,”
Lynn said. “I kept telling her that she
needed to eat because we were doing
a lot of stuff outside. She got really
upset with me, as if I was condemn
ing her. I had never been exposed to
eating disorders, and it had never
crossed my mind that she would in
tentionally not eat.”
Rahn said that if someone sus
pects a friend may have an eating
disorder, it is important to be sym
pathetic to the individual. It is im
portant not to tell the person that he
or she needs to “fatten up" or that he
or she is “too skinny.” The focus
needs to be on the friend and not just
on the friend’s body. It is best not to
even mention food in the conversa
tion. It is important for the friend to
remember that they do not need to be
the counselor.
Rahn said that the friend should
suggest that the person may need to
seek help from a counselor.
Having a friend with an eating
disorder may leave some people
feeling hopeless about the situation.
Beth Priolo, a sophomore geni
studies major, said she feels help!;
when discussing a friend whoha
eating disorder.
"Having a friend with anea!
disorder is scary,” said Priolo.1

“When I first saw her, I feltcit
passion for her situation, butai
same time, I just wanted to
her and ask her what she was a?,
to herself. She looks like sheisHs
ing her own concentration camp,
it is getting the best of her.”
Reed said the treatment for
eating disorder is multifaceted,
sufferer can have counseling,si
