Wilde's word choice in the paragraph following Basil's murder is very descriptive, grim, and tense. He tells how the atmosphere was after the murder. The text says "He could hear nothing, but the drip, drip on the threadbare carpet." Dorian's emotional state is very calm. He goes out to the balcony and looks over as if he hadn't just killed a man. He then comes back in the room and doesn't even look at the body of Basil. This shows his attitude is very careless and he seems a little psychotic.
I felt the terror from imaging the scene in the story. As Basil laid there dead and Dorian could here nothing but the blood dropping to the floor, in the text it said he kept his sanity even thought what he had just done was insane! "He felt strangely calm, and, walking over to the window, opened it, and stepped outon the balcony." It seemed all Dorain need was a breath of fresh air after he murdered someone who cared so greatly for him. It was a tragedy. He even went and spoke with Francis making it seem as if he hadn't seen Basil.
Wilde's diction gives us a very descriptive horror scene here " Crushing the man's head, and stabbing again and again." "...the horrible sound of someone choking with blood" I believe this is the climax of the story. Its a very good example of situational irony. Dorian was sharing a part of his soul he didnt want anyone to see with his good friend Basil then in the spur of the moment, he kills him. Then, he throws the the knife on the table and carries on as through this tragic murder didn't happen.
The way Wilde' talks about this scene lets you see a good horror scene.when Basil was laying dere dead the only thing dorian can hear is the drippin of Basil blood.When wilde said "crushing the man head and stabed him again and again." I felt the horror in this scene.Dorian didnt care what he did he was calm, cool and collective., Dorian acted like noyhing didnt happen.
Wilde Really Used Imagery Very Well In This Chapter. From The Time They Both Entered The Room, It Was Written To Make The Reader Feel As Though They Were In The Room. That's The Way That I Felt. Dorian's Expression's, And They Things He Was Saying Were REAL. When Basil Began To Speak, You Can Imagine Hearing Basil Saying The Words. The Way The Picture was Described, And Looked The "Eyes Of Devil" were Written well. When Dorian Saw The Shining Knife On The Chest Of The Picture, And He Began Killing. You Could see Step By Step Of Evrything Dorian Did. As Basil Died, You Imagine Him Clinging, And In Total Shock. Even, After The Killing of Bssil. Dorain Still Reacted In A Way That Was Able To Imagine. From The Stillness Of The Entire House, And You Could Only Hear His Footsteps. The Entire Atmosphere Was Told By Wilde In The Best Way Written.
The txt he used is a good sins if imagery it gives a distinct picture of what's goin on in the story like the dripping if basil's blood and with Dorian's reaction by walking to the balcony shows he doesn't care as e tosses the knife on the table and walks around like he didn't just kill basil
Wilde really used great imagery in this chapter he really described the death really good. In the chapter it stars that Dorian stabbed him in a great vein behind in his, after that he stabbed him several more to times. Then he threw the knife on the table like nothin happened. He could hear nothing but the drip drip on the threadbare carpet. Then Dorian walked on the balcony. Dorian seemed calm like nothin never happened like he just didn't murder somebody.
