Describe the selfish giant' as a christian parable
Answers
"The Selfish Giant" is written following the parable of Jesus and the children, where Jesus tells to allow the children to go to him, for theirs is the kingdom of God. ... However, it is when a very feeble kid tries to climb the tree that the Giant's heart melts, and he lends the small child a hand to climb the tree.
This story is one of the many allegorical tales in which Wilde infuses parables in order to imitate the way that Jesus would have combined a message with a story.
Although Wilde was not conventionally a religious man, the elements of rite and sermons were some of the concepts about the Catholic faith that would fascinate Wilde the most.
However, Wilde was particularly interested in the thought of Jesus speaking in parables. Hence, Wilde also uses epigrams and paradoxes in a similar way to cause the same effect of awe and surprise that the Bible would say Jesus used to cause.
