Abstract
This study is aimed at investigating the gothic elements in Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray. The research focused more on two main questions, the gothic elements present in the novel and how these elements influence the development of the narrative using Fred Botting’s Gothic theory. The study identified and examined key aspects such as gothic excesses, fascination with transgression, duality and internal conflict, ambivalent emotions and meanings, and tales of darkness, desire, and power. The research provided the data from narrative excerpts in The Picture of Dorian Gray and employed a qualitative descriptive method with an objective approach. The results showed that gothic elements, such as gothic excesses, fascination with transgression, duality and internal conflict, ambivalent emotions and meanings, and tales of darkness, desire, and power were prevalent throughout the novel. These elements significantly influenced the story's development, narrative structure, and atmosphere creation, guiding the narrative towards a tragic climax. The use of gothic elements in The Picture of Dorian Gray shapes the overall atmosphere and contributes to the novel's classification as a classic gothic work.
