Québec a Nation History (Part 8)
Cause of the French and Indian War
The French and Indian War, also known as the War of the Conquest (Guerre de la Conquête), was a war fought in North America between 1754 and 1763
The first major event of the war was in 1754, when a Virginia major named George Washington, was sent to negotiate boundaries with the French. Washington stumbled upon the French about 40 miles before reaching Fort Duquesne. In the ensuing skirmish, an officer named Joseph Coulon de Jumonville was among French casualties, news of which would have certainly provoked a strong French response. Washington pulled back several miles and established Fort Necessity. The French attacked this position on July 4, forcing Washington to negotiate a withdrawal under arms.

A corrupt young man somehow keeps his youthful beauty eternally, but a special painting gradually reveals his inner ugliness to all. -IMDb
The main characters are:
Dorian Gray -- a handsome and narcissistic young man who becomes enthralled with Lord Henry's idea of a new hedonism. He begins to indulge in every kind of pleasure, moral and immoral.
Basil Hallward -- an artist who becomes infatuated with Dorian's beauty. Dorian helps Basil to realize his artistic potential, as Basil's portrait of Dorian proves to be his finest work. A devout Christian with conservative values, he is later murdered by Dorian.
Lord Henry "Harry" Wotton -- an imperious and decadent dandy who is a friend to Basil initially, but later becomes more intrigued with Dorian's beauty and naivety. Extremely witty, Lord Henry is seen as a critique of Victorian culture at the end of the century, espousing a view of indulgent hedonism. He conveys to Dorian his world view, and Dorian becomes corrupted as he attempts to emulate him, though Basil points out to Harry that "You never say a moral thing, and you never do a wrong thing."
Other characters include:
Sibyl Vane -- An exceptionally talented and beautiful (though extremely poor) actress with whom Dorian falls in love. Her love for Dorian destroys her acting ability, as she no longer finds pleasure in portraying fictional love when she is experiencing love in reality. She commits suicide when she realizes Dorian no longer loves her. Lord Henry likens her to Ophelia.
James Vane -- Sibyl's brother who is to become a sailor and leave for Australia. He is extremely protective of his sister, especially as his mother is concerned only with Dorian's money. He is hesitant to leave his sister, believing Dorian will harm her and promises to be vengeful if any harm should come to her. After Sibyl's death he becomes obsessed with killing Dorian and begins to stalk him. He is later killed in a hunting accident. James's pursuit of revenge against Dorian for the death of his sister emulates the role of Laertes, Ophelia's brother in Hamlet.
Alan Campbell -- a chemist and once a good friend of Dorian; he ended their friendship when Dorian's reputation began to come into question. Dorian blackmails him into disposing of Basil's body, and he later commits suicide.
Lord Fermor -- Lord Henry's uncle. He informs Lord Henry about Dorian's lineage.
Victoria, Lady Henry Wotton -- Lord Henry's wife, who only appears once in the novel while Dorian waits for Lord Henry. She loves her husband who treats her with disdain and she later divorces him in exchange for a pianist.-Wikipedia
