Answer:
Here we have a statue who, at one time, was a real prince. He was happy when alive, because he was kept ignorant of any sadness or suffering outside his palace walls. His life was one of joy and fulfilled desires. And then he died. Upon his death, a statue was made depicting him which was covered in gold, had beautiful sapphires for eyes, and a ruby attached to his sword-gilt. He is adored by all who see him. Unfortunately for the statue, his placement atop a high hill allows him to witness, for the first time, the pain and misery experienced by the poor of the city, of whom he had remained ignorant.
The statue, once happy, now weeps with sadness to learn the plight of so many who have so little. A self-serving swallow arrives to take shelter beneath this statue and eventually becomes touched by the statue’s kindness and desire to help others. He becomes the statue’s messenger and agrees to remove the jewels and the gold from the Happy Prince in order to bring contentment, badly needed financial security, and compassion to the masses. In an allegory, the characters stand for ideas or for people in history. In this story, the swallow can be seen as Socialism-delivering necessities to all so that all are on equal footing.
As the swallow started distributing the jewels and gold to the poor of the city, he learns the social imbalance existed in the society, where some have too much and others too little. This was a realistic picture of Victorian England where in the rich were filthy rich and poor were starved to death.
