In Oscar Wilde’s *The Picture of Dorian Gray*, Lord Henry’s surname is Wotton.
Lord Henry Wotton is the witty, aristocratic influence who introduces Dorian Gray to a philosophy of intense pleasure, beauty and self-indulgence. While visiting Basil Hallward’s studio, he encounters Dorian and helps awaken Dorian’s fear of aging. Dorian then wishes that his portrait would grow old instead of him.
Lord Henry does not physically create the supernatural portrait, nor does he directly commit Dorian’s crimes. His power is persuasive: through paradoxes and provocative observations, he encourages Dorian to treat experience as an experiment and morality as an obstacle. The novel therefore explores influence as well as personal responsibility.
The wrong options are names belonging to other characters. Sibyl Vane is the actress Dorian courts, Basil Hallward is the painter of the portrait, and Gray is Dorian’s own surname. Wilde’s work appeared as a 1890 magazine version before an expanded book edition in 1891, when its Gothic themes and moral controversy reached a wider audience.
