Answer 1

Answer:

The title mentions a prince that had a happy life and had been a happy person. But after he was put up in that pedestal and could see the whole town from where he stood, he cried at night. It makes the title ironic.

It showed the superficiality of the town. And it is ironic because the town wanted to seem rich and pretty but it was actually gilded in gold not made of gold. That is why they take it down when it looses its shiny parts.

So the title 'Happy Prince' is apt. It is about the inner or real happiness of the prince at the cost of his out happiness. The story is an allegory. It is based on the theme that love and sacrifice are important values in human life and happiness comes to those who make others happy.
