Characters

The most important characters in the short story “The Selfish Giant” by Oscar Wilde are the Giant and the little boy. The children act as a collective character and the seasons are also personified, having more a symbolic function.

The Giant

The Giant is a fantastical creature depicted directly by the narrator and indirectly through his actions and reactions to the events.

Outer characterisation

We do not know much about the creature’s outer characterisation, except the he is very big and strong, as it would be expected of any giant.

...

Inner characterisation

The Giant is not a static character, but one who changes throughout the story as a result of the events he experiences.

At first, he is “very selfish” as he chases away the children playing in his garden.

...

The little boy

The little boy in the short story is a symbol, a disguise Jesus Christ takes in order to test the Giant.

Outer characterisation

The children

The children in the short story function as a collective character. They are associated with spring and joy, as the season ‘refuses’ to enter the Giant’s garden in their absence.

...

The seasons

The four seasons, as well as other natural elements, are personified in the short story. They speak and act like persons and play a symbolic role, suggesting the passage of time and different personality traits.
