Story : The Happy Prince
Written by : Oskar Wilde
It is very difficult to feel the true happiness unless you realize what happiness
means to you. One can earn his or her so called “ happiness “only by thinking of
himself or herself in the first place whenever doing something . From the Story “ The
Happy Prince “ important lessons can be learnt about happiness . I think “ Happy
Prince “ truly realized his happiness through his three valuable personality traits.
First, and most importantly ,happy prince is a human-being of great conscience.
Having an inner sense of what is right or wrong in one’s conduct is an important trait .
For The Happy Prince , this trait is the most visible . After witnessing all the misery,
sadness in his city, he admitted by saying , e.g, quote “When I was alive and had a
human heart,” answered the statue, “I did not know what tears were, for I lived in the
Palace of Sans-Souci, where sorrow is not allowed to enter.” Happy Prince
displayed his conscience when he finally faced the reality .
Second, one of the essential personality traits that helped happy prince reach his
happiness is that he was very inspirational. Inspiration comes only when you desire to
achive something, similarly, in the story of Happy Prince , he persuaded a little
swallow into becoming his courier and do his commandments . After doing Prince’s
commands , helping people in the city . the little swallow felt inspired , quote:” It is
curious .” he remarked . “but I feel quite warm now ,although it is cold.”
Consequently, it is Happy Prince that inspired the swallow to feel happiness .
Finally, to fulfill his true happiness , Happy Prince showed his ultimate
generosity to his people in the city . Happy prince did all he can to help the poor
he was willing to share his real happiness with the poor even when he had to sacrifice
his valuable possessions , such
