Lord Henry loved all the attention he got when he was with Dorian.

Even while married to woman who matched his social standing and attended social functions as expected...

Something something representation of true self hidden away in the closet.

Lord Henry was getting older. Not as much attention. He tells him that the world is his for the taking and he will show him. What does Henry get in return? More invitations, more attention, more of everything due to reflected glory from Dorian. He got a kitten for company that turned into a tiger which he couldn’t tame or keep up with.
