This paper explores the category of evaluation, the function of which is to characterize both the characters of O. Wilde's novel “The Picture of Dorian Gray”, where it forms a portrait of the characters and influences the reader’s perception, and the personality of the author himself, and his attitude to the characters. The relevance of this paper is due to the interest of modern linguists in the category of evaluation and the ways of its speech realization. The aim of this work is to examine and to describe words of qualitative evaluation in O. Wilde's novel. In the course of the study, the concepts of “emotionality” and “evaluation” will be distinguished and the degree of influence of these categories on the artistic image of the characters of the novel will be determined.
