Basil Hallward and Lord Henry Wotton act as the "angel" and the "devil" on Dorian's shoulders throughout the novel. Basil is a kind artists, who only wishes to create the perfect art-piece in Dorian's honor, thinking him to be one of the most beautiful people there are. He also serves to keep Dorian on the right track, and to show him what the true values should be.

He introduces him to hedonism, and tells him that he should experience everything he can. Under his influence, Dorian loses his former self and falls deeper and deeper in decadence, ultimately destroying his life. <span />
