In The Berea Coffee And Tea Shop Moral

(In the Berea Coffee and Tea Shop sitting on a couch there is Ms. Crockett drinking a mocha, Ms. Crocker drinking organic tea, and Lord Henry drinking a Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino with a bendy straw).
Ms. Crockett: Did you know that I found it interesting how people say The Picture of Dorian Gray is only about morality? Honestly, I feel it is more about the choices and the actions we make and how they can affect us. The definition of being moral is the concern with the principles or rules of right conduct. Dorian did not see anything wrong with his picture until he broke the engagement with Sybil, but there is nothing immoral about ending an engagement.

Ms. Crocker: Ms. Crockett, you talk about the fact that Dorian 's life did change, and how he imitated his life because of a picture. How exactly would his life have been better his he ignored the
