English Question on The happy prince
Why do the courtiers call the prince ‘the Happy Prince’? Is he really happy? What does he see all around him?
Answer
Because the prince was constantly happy the courtiers dubbed him "the Happy Prince." He lived in a castle where sadness was forbidden,
so when he was living, he had no idea what tears were. But after he passed away and was turned into a statue, he was unhappy about his city's condition and shed tears.
All the ugliness and despair of the city was visible to him.
