The Happy Prince

Trust Oscar Wild to convey a powerful message in a few short pages. This work is a good example for his amazing skill.
This short story exposes a few themes: poverty, the negligence of the authorities to facilitate the poor, the convenient ignorance of the rich. The story is simple but the underneath irony cannot be missed. If you look deep, you can see how with simple words Wild brings out an ugly and dark side of a hypocritical society.
Reading Oscar Wild is always a pleasure and here, there is no exception either.
