The main content of The Happy Prince

1, Introduction The main content of Happy Prince is a prince who didn't know how to care about people's livelihood and sympathize with people's feelings before his death, thinking that the world was as full of happiness as its surroundings, but after his death, the statue was placed on a pillar overlooking the city, and he asked the swallow to help him and sent him help for the misfortune he saw. The swallow missed the opportunity to go to the south with the help of time and time again, and finally froze to death at the foot of the statue, so the prince broke his lead heart, which can be said to be a beautiful fairy tale of Wilde's consistent style. 2. The aesthetic practice in The Happy Prince refers to the aesthetics in literary works, which are mostly related to poetry, such as the beauty of rhythm and artistic conception. There is such beauty in Wilde's fairy tales. Especially in his Happy Prince, there are three aesthetic experiences: color beauty, tragedy beauty and story line beauty. 2. 1 The color beauty in the fairy tales of Happy Prince can be clearly felt from the beginning, from "thin Jin Yezi" to "bright sapphire" and "huge glowing red gem". With the wide application of color vocabulary, the picture of fairy tale world is presented in front of us with full and smart colors. The use of color words enriches the realism of the story, as if it happened in front of the reader, so that the reader can better substitute his own imagination. Different colors with the same color will give people different psychological hints, such as red indicating enthusiasm, color indicating wealth or sensibility or happiness, and so on. In the story of the Happy Prince, the connection between color and personality is a fascinating key setting. 2.2 The tragic beauty of The Happy Prince The ending of The Happy Prince is tragic, and the success of all kinds of positive narratives makes readers stay on regretting the fate of the characters. This regret, which goes deep into the reader's heart, is based on the contradiction established in the previous article. First of all, the two protagonists in this article, Happy Prince, lost their dedication and even the contradiction of swallows in the choice of leaving and staying again and again, but insisted on staying every time and gave up the opportunity of migration. The happy prince was born knowing nothing but happiness, but after his death he gave all kinds of selfless help but got nothing in return. It was this kind of behavior that moved the swallow, making her abandon the first two hesitations when the prince was blind, and resolutely chose to abandon the warmth and companionship of Egypt. The tragedy of the Happy Prince is the contradiction between life and death. After his death, he felt the warmth of the world with a lead heart, but he didn't know the pain in his heart. In the end, all his thoughts became irreparable regrets with the bursting of a lead heart. The tragic beauty of The Happy Prince lies not only in the two protagonists, but also in the selfishness and insatiable greed of the aristocratic class. The prince sent rubies to the woman worker and her sick child, but the woman worker had to sew the clothes the queen wanted at this time. The target of female workers' service even criticized female workers for being too lazy. This contradiction is particularly prominent when the statue of the prince breaks the heart and other members want to build it themselves, or even have a big fight about it. Compared with the two protagonists who died in the line of duty, the ugly official is still alive, which deepens the beauty of this tragedy. 2.3 The story line of Happy Prince is beautiful. As said at the beginning of the article, the story of "Happy Prince" is as beautiful and wonderful as Wilde's previous stories. In the works represented by Oscar Wilde's Happy Prince, unlike Andersen's fairy tales, which are close to life and based on life, Wilde gives people a mysterious, distant and ethereal feeling in the overall style of his works. Wilde removed the ugly reality, drew materials from ancient legends and stories, fantasized to the maximum, praised beauty and suppressed ugliness, and created a beautiful world completely different from reality. Hu Yuzhi described his works as "fantastic imagination" and "incredible magic", which is a veritable aesthetic style. Source: Young writers
