Wilde’s play was

With a subconscious reminiscent between ‘courage’ and ‘hero’‚ compassion is generally not a primary association with a strong image of a hero. Oscar Wilde however‚ through utilization of ‘the happy prince’ as a mechanism‚ conveys the idea of compassion and sacrifice which consists of happiness and beauty under a plot of heroism.
