Character Sketch (Swallow)
  • protagonist
  • kind-hearted and polite
  • helps the prince in distributing jewels to the needy people
  • compassionate heart
  • sacrifices his life for humanity
  • the Swallow comes to love the Prince and understand the value of doing good. In the mentor/mentee relationship developed between the pair.
  • sacrifice ultimately lands him a place in Paradise for eternity, reinforcing the story’s moral that anyone can change and choose to do good instead of acting selfishly.

 Character Sketch of 'The Happy Prince '

Slide 26 - Slide

Character Sketch (The Happy Prince)
  • protagonist
  • generous and known to be a happy prince when alive
  • his true worth lies in his compassion for his townspeople and his willingness to sacrifice for them
  • The “happiness” of this name is thus ironic, as the Prince describes having only experienced false happiness in his previous life of pleasure when he was ignorant of the true misery surrounding him.
  • Descriptions of the Prince also allude to classical understandings of wisdom and mentorship
