Status Updates From Complete Fairy Tales of Osc...

Oscar Wilde mastered the art of weaponized wit with this one 😂

✓ The Remarkable Rocket
"I often have long conversations all by myself and I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying."
"What a curious shape you are! May I ask were you born like that or is it the result of an accident?"
"(...) Hard work is simply the refuge of people who have nothing whatever to do."

The Selfish Giant may just be one of the best short stories I’ve ever read. Beautiful rendition of life.

✓ The Devoted Friend
" - I am rather afraid that I have annoyed him (...) I told him a story with a moral.
- Ah! That is always a very dangerous thing to do."

I'm in love with this stories!

✓ The Happy Prince
"I will stay with you always"

✓ The Nightingale and the Rose
"Death is a great price to pay for a red rose, (...) Yet Love is better than Life, and what is the heart of a bird compared to the heart of a man?"

✓ The Selfish Giant
"I have many beautiful flowers, but the children are the most beautiful flowers of all."

Ok just read “the selfish giant”:

SO GOOD this one is my fav so far 9/10 wow so beautifully written and it was only a few pages but somehow i feel so strong for the giant and i think the little boy was jesus but it was so sweet and i really enjoyed reading it

Ok I’ve read the first two stories, here’s my review so far:

- the happy prince: 7/10
This one was sad. Good and sad. Also a little gross.

- the nightingale and the rose: 5/10
Ugh lowkey annoying ass story. The writing and imagery was pretty, but what a shitty ending. Ungrateful mfs

Oliver Wilde hates birds is what I’m getting at rn
