- W2603652568 abstract "Oscar Wilde is associated with the doctrine Art for Art's sake. He is believed to be a pure aesthete who thought of morality as being independent of art. Critics often describe the decadence literature to which Wilde belongs as being immoral, morbid, sordid, and perverse. Some critics find his story The Happy Prince an example of his homosexuality. In his short story The Happy Prince he proved to be more a moralist than an aesthete. It shows that he did not in fact apply his doctrine Art for Art's Sake. The paper shows that Wilde also believed in the inherently moralist nature of art. He believed that art can transform society into a better one through better appreciation of art. Art may also create the conditions conducive to a further development of a society. Drawing a grim picture of a town where art is not appreciated, he presents the theory that a modern welfare state cannot be constructed without art. He charts the way towards achieving such a project. He makes a statue transform a misery-stricken town into a happy one. Thus he criticizes the crude Victorian society and their hostility to his theory of aesthetics as well as their obsession with the new materialism and ugly industrialization of the age. He indicts inequality, poor living conditions and misery. The Happy Prince is a celebration of the importance of art in any modern society. He concludes his story with the idea that religion does not disapprove of art making the story his proof that he does preach morality in his art and he is far from being morbid or perverse." @default.
