In many ways Dorian Gray is about relations between men. How is this aspect of the novel complicated by the figure of Sybil?

    Well Sibyl is the only woman of any importance in the book. The rest of the important dialogue/plot come from the men, and sibyl herself only lasts until chapter 10, when she dies. WIthout Sibyl it would be an all male book (which it basically is anyway).
