Happy Prince Story By Oscar Wilde Review

Blowing to the fact that almost all the book-readers have known about the Happy Prince . As one , I got to get a review about it . Like everyone saying  , Happy Prince is one of the touching heart story. Not only heart warming , but also knowledgeable . Oscar Wilde completely changed the way we look at thing . Maybe It was what we all should read. Let's start telling a brief story about it.

Living in one beautiful city , One prince was named as Happy Prince . He stayed in the palace all days without leaving. In everyday life, he played , laughed and joked all around with no worrying . By the time , he passed away , all the villagers made a statue of him standing with sword which all made of gold . His eyes were placed with sapphires , and his sword was put with the ruby.

After the ruby , he asked the bird to take off sapphire as his eyes to give to the younger play writer . He finally ended up giving away his last eyes to a poor little girl who sold the match . Due to bird's kind heart, he decided to be prince's eyes telling the prince everything . He reported each day and pulled out the leaf of Happy prince helping the villagers.

The Happy Prince was no long handsome, but old ugly grey statue. The winter arrived and the bird said goodbye to the prince before he died. Suddenly the prince's heart cracked. All the villagers buried his statue leaving his cracking heart away with the bird's corpse on the rubbish .

The God sent one of his fellow to find the two most important things in the city , so he took the prince's cracking heart , and bird to the heaven. Finally , both of prince and swallow stayed in the heaven happily ever after.

How was the story ,huh ? It may blow up your mind or not. In the his tragedy story , I have noticed something strange and awkward . It was the statue itself. Most of the people only build the statue with out look. However, strangely this town dwellers only built the heart for the prince . It is odd to me to know if it is the culture alone or the story .

On the other hand, I found the author pointed out of thing that every society always does. People do not like ugly thing , so most of all they tend to ignore or  cruelly destroy for beauty sake. Honestly , I have no idea why the human's brain works like this. In contrast , those who are smart more likely using both brain and heart . I like the perspective that the author did actually hide the concept of life in the story . That's why the old classic books died hard.

All right , this is just the recommendation . I suggest every reader should at least know the Happy Prince story by Oscar Wilde. More and least it truly depends on you . Somehow the old books your grandma or grandpa left for you worth million time more than you expected. So treasure every book you have read, as a book nerd, I would say " Every Book has different ending , and every story has different meaning . What it takes is only your time to explore. "
