Lord Henry serves as a catalyst in the relationship among Basil, Dorian, and himself in Oscar Wilde's "The Picture of Dorian Gray." He introduces Dorian to a hedonistic worldview, encouraging him to embrace a life of pleasure and beauty, which ultimately leads to Dorian's moral decline. Basil, who admires Dorian's innocence and artistic talent, represents a contrasting influence, valuing aestheticism without moral compromise. The tension between these three characters highlights the struggle between artistic integrity, moral responsibility, and the seductive allure of a life devoted to indulgence.

Lord Henry always kind of controlled Dorian. He wanted to be to Dorian what Dorian was to Basil. Dorian probably wasn't even aware of how highly he held Henry, and never quite perceived of the impact of Henry's words on him. Dorian thought of him as a friend, but in reality, he was like his puppy.
In "The Picture of Dorian Gray" by Oscar Wilde, Lord Henry, Dorian Gray, and Basil Hallward are present for lunch at Lord Henry's aunt's home. Lord Henry and Basil are discussing Dorian Gray, who is the subject of Basil's portrait.
Lord Henry teaches Dorian about decadence, a concept invented in the Victorian Era that relies on pleasure before morals. Before meeting Henry, Dorian was relatively innocent, and he followed the strict Victorian social codes of the time. But after Dorian becomes fascinated with both Henry and the concept of decadence, he plummets into sin and frequents the SoHo (red light) district. If Henry had never given him the book that changed Dorian's outlook on life, he would have never done all of those decadent things in the first place, and he wouldn't have been a slave to the devil within his portrait.
