The Picture of Dorian Grey

An excellent classic book with many movie adaptions. It goes over the state of the soul, vanity, corruption, and beauty. The main character, Dorian Gray, keeps putting the blame of his actions and state onto the picture of himself that has been cursed. He believes that if you have beauty, you have everything no matter how decadent, vile, or corrupt you are. He keeps forgetting that he placed the curse and he is doing the actions that are being placed on the picture. He values his beauty more than his soul.
