Social status, rich and poor, is the biggest thing I noticed. The situation hit close to home, and I hate how terrible people can be, claiming to be better than someone simply because they have some extra money. And how horrible to look down upon a union of true love, even if they are not of the same class. What should money matter so long as you are happy and with the one you love!
I could not believe how Dorian let Sybil go, as if she had never meant anything to him. I said this in a comment already, but I was practically in tears after the engagement had been broken. I wanted to leap into the book and slap him silly!
This is one of the best ideas you have ever had. When I read the chapter where Sibyl committed suicide and saw how indifferent they acted just because she was poor, I wanted to choke the whole lot of them. They treated her like a common experiment. They were so unkind to her; it enrages me. I completely agree, money is worthless if you're in love.
