Happy Prince
About This Novel
"The Happy Prince" is a fairy tale written by British aestheticist writer Oscar Wilde, which is included in "The Happy Prince and Other Stories". The story tells the story of the Happy Prince, who did not know what sorrow was when he was alive, and witnessed all kinds of suffering in the world after his death, and the story of the swallow who sacrificed himself to help others. The city outlined in "The Happy Prince" is a microcosm of British society during the Victorian period. Wilde incorporated various ugly phenomena that occurred in real society into the story, ruthlessly lashing and exposing the cold society at that time. He expressed deep sympathy for the compassionate Happy Prince and Swallow's charity relief activities for the people at the bottom of society and their ultimate failure. At the same time, the story itself also hinted at the author's ideal social system tendency and fundamentally questioned the moral principles of the society at that time.
