Answers
Answer:
The main character of the story, the titular selfish giant owns a garden where local children have taken to playing while he is away on an extended vacation. At the beginning of the story, the Giant is selfish and hardhearted; he drives the children out of his garden upon discovering them there, and he builds a high wall to keep them out. Spring, Summer, and Autumn leave the garden as well, repulsed by the Giant’s selfishness, leaving only the forces of Winter—the North Wind, the Snow, the Frost, and the Hail—to inhabit it year-round. For months thereafter, the Giant is miserable, unable to understand why Spring will not come. Springtime only returns to the garden when the children sneak inside to play. Softened by the months he spent deprived of warmth and cheer, the Giant realizes that he brought the winter upon himself with his selfishness, and immediately he wishes to make amends. His first gesture of kindness is to a little boy in the far corner of the garden, who is crying because he can’t climb the tree there. The Giant raises the boy up into the tree, which at once bursts into bloom as the child embraces the Giant, kissing him. With this act, the Giant warms the rest of the children to him, and he knocks down the wall so as to share his garden with them forevermore. In the years that follow, as the Giant ages, his heart softens further still. He comes to cherish the children far more than the garden itself. Even so, he wishes that he could once again meet the little boy who kissed him, whom he loves best of all. The Giant’s wish is granted only in his twilight years, when he is very old and feeble—the boy appears in the corner of the garden, transfigured, revealing himself to be the Christ Child. He then welcomes the Giant into heaven as reward for his kindness. This arc of redemption, from selfish sinner to selfless neighbor, ending in eternal Paradise, illustrates the Christian promise of redemption. The Giant’s character is meant to teach this moral lesson as simply and straightforwardly as possible.
