《快乐王子》 / The Happy Prince
《快乐王子》 / The Happy Prince appears in 10.王尔德奇异故事集：用最会撒谎的嘴唇亲吻天使 as one of the familiar Wilde tales that shaped readers’ early impression of his sadness and sacrificial beauty. 菲比 recalls liking it since childhood, and the episode places it beside 《夜莺与玫瑰》 and 安徒生’s 《海的女儿》 as a cluster of beautiful, painful fairy-tale reading.
The source uses the story mainly as contrast. 《王尔德奇异故事集》 contains gentler endings, satire, and black comedy, so returning to The Happy Prince helps prevent a single “sad Wilde” image from flattening the wider body of work.
