The Remarkable Rocket
This story revolves around a pompous firework which believes itself to be the centrepiece of a an elegant wedding. It is a vain, arrogant character who believes itself to be superior to its peers and demonstrates this sophistication by bursting into tears to prove its sensitivity. In doing so it becomes damp and useless and so is subsequently thrown into a ditch the following day. It is then found by some passing children and tossed into a campfire. Despite being seen by no one, it considers itself to have been an incredible success. Wilde deals with the mature themes of self perception and the concept of reality in a playful manner, allowing readers of all ages to draw insight from this whimsical tale.
Answer:
The titular Rocket is the protagonist of the story.
The Rocket claims to be born of remarkable parents and thus believes himself to be the most remarkable thing in the world, considering himself to be the paragon of high society.
Although he believes he is sympathetic and virtuous, in actuality he is haughty, arrogant, and condescending. The Rocket is certain that he is destined for greatness, but he has not yet been set off and is anticipating his entrance into public life and the magnificent impression that he is sure he will create.
Like the King, the Rocket is so obsessed with himself and assured of his grand significance to the world that he is completely delusional. For every personal failure he faces, every negative interaction, and every insult directed towards him, he reinterprets it to reaffirm his own self-image as an utterly remarkable individual.
