Even After many years, the Giant cannot resist himself to think about the boy, whom he helped.Īt the end of the tale, the Giant learns language and humanity and becomes a hero but he has to pay his life for it. It has preached to be moralistic and kind to others. This fairy tale has a Christian aspect and the special boy is the representative of Christ. In this tale, the sacrifice of the hero is disregarded, as happens in most of Wilde’s works. The prince is very selfless and sympathetic towards his tenants that he gives up all his valuable wealth to take of care them. The Swallow gets spiritual renewal as he loves the Prince. The Happy Prince is basically about a statue of a prince, who is not precisely happy because of his tenants, and a Swallow. This feature makes it different from other tales. It is not like the other fairy tales that have, a perfect happy ending, or a love story. The story is basically based on a theme of depression. This story is the most famous story among all the other ones. The first story of the collection is The Happy Prince. These features are portrayed both, all together and individually, beautifully. The Complete Fairy Tales is a well-balanced work of Wilde of themes and styles and social concerns.
