Chapters 17&18 should be presented individually on the same day. Students who are doing 18 must also answer questions for chapter 19 because they are short chapters.
What is the setting in this chapter?
Why does Dorian falls into a swoon?
What is Lord Henry's view on women?
Why does Dorian call Lord Henry "Prince Paradox?"
Discuss Lord Henry's views of art, love, and religion and whether or not these views make him a skeptic. (He views art as a malady, love as an illusion, and religion as a fashionable subsittute for belief.
How does Dorian becomes the huntee in these two chapters.
How does James die and what effect does it have on Lord Henry compared to Dorian?
Correlate the allusions with Dorian Gray (here you would have to do some research): Trojans: involved in conflict over Helen (Trojan War) in which ancient Greece defeated the city of Troy, the subject of three epic poems (The Iliad, The Odyssey, and Aeneid); Parthian: ancient culture conquered by Cyrus the Great; Artemis: Greek mythology, daughter of Zeus, goddess of fertility.
