"There was jealousy in [James]'s heart, and a fierce, murderous hatred of the stranger who, as it seemed to him , had come between them" (74).

At first, Jim's over-protective nature over his sister seemed natural. It is natural for a brother to feel bothered by their sister being in love with someone. However, Jim takes this feeling of annoyance to another level. He is more than just upset, he is jealous, angry, and has an urge to kill Dorian. This is worrying and his reaction to her new found love is uncomprehending. It makes one wonder if there are under lying feelings that Jim may have for his sister.

"'You should have seen her ... She wore a moss-colored velvet jerkin with cinnamon sleeves ... She has never seemed so exquisite'" (80).

This is just a small segment of what Dorian thought of Sibyl. He continued to go on a tangent of all her wonderful qualities on stage. It seems as though Dorian has actually fell in love with the characters Sibyl portrays. The only time Dorian speaks of her excessively and with infatuation is when he is speaking of her acting on stage. Another thing to pay attention to is how much and how thoroughly Dorian describes the quality of Sibyl's clothes. Appearance is of great significance to Dorian, as well as wealth. However, it was made clear that Sibyl is not wealthy whatsoever. Therefore, their potential marriage may already be at risk.
