The Happy Prince ---- Oscar Wilde In order to write this repot, I found some information of the artists in the text book. I thought that you told us don’t choose the artist we already know very well, so I considered maybe I can choose an artist I am not familiar with and I am interested in at the same time. So, I found an artist I thought I don’t know him but I actually read his fairy tale when I was a little girl, and when today I search his material, I notice a sayings of him,”Have a happy life, is a best revenge. ” He is Oscar Wilde.When I was a child, I read many book, like every child, I love fairy tale, including The Happy Prince. I love this prince, he has a noble heart. He had a perfect appearance which every people admired, but he watched people suffering sick and poor every day. So he was very sad. One day, a swallow came and want to stay a night in his body, but it found the prince was cried, and then the swallow promised the prince that it will help him to help people, it picked out the great ruby from the Prince's sword, and flew away with it in his beak over the roofs of the town. Again and again, the prince became an ugly statue; the swallow also wasn’t going to Egypt with its family. Finally, the prince was pulled down, and the kind and faithful swallow dead on his foot. The prince’s heart and the dead swallow’s body were brought to the heaven by angle, theywill accompany god forever.I ever cried for the prince’s d fate, he is so kind and so warm-hearted; he want people have not to suffer hungry and poor. And the poor swallow; it could fly to Egypt and have fun with his relatives and friends. But I finally understand them, Prince love people, people have happy life, then he could be happy; the swallow is the prince’s friend and love him very much, it was willing to help him and accompany him forever, its friend. Now I grew up, I went through many things, I am 21 years old. Today I back to read this story, I felt sad. When I was young, I thought help others are a thing we should do, and I thought friend should be faithful. But these years, too many experience told me this world is not like a fairy tale, people is not always good. So I admire the prince has a pure and virtuous heart, and a friend won’t lose forever. I want to become a nice person just like him.Read this story again made me know Oscar Wilde again. As a youngster, Oscar Wilde was born in a brilliant family. His father is a doctor, and his mother is a poet and a write. He stood out among the Victorian dramatists especially.After being educated in Trinity College, Dublin, he attended Magdalene College, Oxford, where he won the new iGATE Prize for English Verse; he took a First Class degree in Classics in spite of areputation for idleness. At Oxford, Oscar Wilde was affect by aesthetic innovators such as English writers Walter Pater and John Ruskin.In 1881, Oscar Wilde published first book,a collection of poems. A year later, Wilde went to New York on a successful lecture tour, where his first plays, Vera. The Nihilists (1882) and The Duchess of Padua (1891), a blank verse tragedy, were produced yet without much success. After returning to England he settled in London and married a wealthy Irish woman, Constance Mary Lloyd, with whom he had two sons. Thereafter he devoted himself only to writing. Oscar Wilde published two collections of fairy tales The Happy Prince and Other Tales (1888), and A House of Pomegranates (1892), a group of short stories Lord Arthur Seville’s Crime (1891), and a melodramatic tale, his only novel The Picture of Dorian Gray (1891). He ultimately achieved fame with a succession of comedies, beginning with Lady Winderm ere’s Fan (1892), produced at the St James’s Theatre by George Alexander, and following up with A Woman of No Importance(1893) and An Ideal Husband (1895), both seen at the Haymarket Theatre. His most characteristic play, The Importance of Being Earnest (also 1895) was seen at the St James’s, which proved the most successful. Fewcomedies of the English stage had such wit, elegance, and theatrical dexterity.Oscar Wilde’s last play, the poetic one-act Salome, written in French, was banned by the censor in England and was first seen privately in London in 1905. Wilde also left an unfinished one-act play, A Florentine Tragedy which was later completed by Surge Moore and produced in London in 1906.In 1895, London witnessed Oscar Wilde’s tragic downfall at the peak of his career. Wilde became a central figure in one of the most sensational court trials of London. He was accused of homosexuality by the Marquis of Queensbury, father of Wilde’s close friend, Lord Alfred Douglas. Wilde was convicted of homosexual offenses and sentenced to two years of hard labor in prison. At the time as a prisoner, he composed De Prefunds (From the Depths, 1905), and a poem T- (1898). Financially bankrupt, ruined in health and spiritually downcast, Wilde left prison in 1897 and spent the rest of his life in Paris, using a pseudonym Sebastian Mammoth. Later on, Wilde died in Paris on November 30, 1900.Wilde was well-known as an Irish-born playwright, novelist, essayist and poet. He is a great writer, and he left a lot of valuable spiritual wealth for people. He was brave in struggle for his happiness, and he dared to be not like most people. He’s just like ahappy prince, left happiness for people. He ever said, “I don’t want to earn my living; I want to live.”“To love one self is the beginning of a lifelong romance.” I like this happy prince. I love his bravery, his brilliance, and his optimistic attitude of life.。

史 王尔德的一生似乎就是一个巨大 的悖论。他是一个集天使与魔鬼 于一身的矛盾人物。既世故又纯 洁;既虚伪又真实。
在鲁迅眼里,他属 于异域“世纪末的 果汁”中的一份
他被誉为“才 子和戏剧家”
他曾说过:“我不想谋生,我想生活。”想生活, 就得谋生。同理,想真实就必须虚伪。他一面在 取悦上流社会,一边又在讽刺上流社会

She read the Young Irelanders' poetry to Oscar and Willie, inculcating a love of these poets in her sons. Lady Wilde's interest in the neo-classical revival showed in the paintings and busts of ancient Greece and Rome in her home. William Wilde was Ireland's leading otoophthalmologic (ear and eye) surgeon and was knighted in 1864 for his services as medical adviser and assistant commissioner to the censuses of Ireland.

Many yearslater, he recalled that Mahafir was "a very talkative person, an artist who was good at using eloquence and vivid words.After graduating from Trinity College in Dublin, Wilde received a full scholarship from the University of Oxford at Magdalen College in 1874. In Oxford, Wilde was influenced by Walter pate and John Raskin's aesthetic ideas and touched on the New Hegelian philosophy, Darwinian theory of evolution and the pre-Raphaelite work, which became a pioneer of his aestheticism The writer established the direction. After the publication of the first "poem", he began to emerge in the literary world, and came to London development. Although the young Wilde has not yet received a literary award, but the clothing eye-catching, talk wit, maverick in London social circles have been a minor celebrity, some magazines and even published his satirical article.In 1875, Wilde traveled to Italy during the summer vacation and wrote one of the early poems "San Miniato", "San Miniato"), but this poem was published only a few years later. In 1877, Oscar Wilde and the other two young people to accompany Mahafhe to Greece to travel, for the Greek natural landscape and exquisite buildings dumped, so linger, delayed class. After returning to Oxford, he was fined £ 45 by the school and the following year was fine for his academic excellence. In 1878, Oscar Wilde in the last year of Oxford in the last year is extremely beautiful, not only academic performance among the best, but also to poetry "La Fenner" to win a school poetrycompetition. The winning poems were financed by the school and became the first published works by Oscar Wilde. Wilde moved from Oxford to London, claiming to be a professor of aestheticism. In 1880, at this time Wilde has been cut out in the London social circle, "clumsy" magazine began to take his appearance joke. His first play "Vera" in the same year to complete, but no big response, and finally for political reasons did not staged in London. In 1881, by the Gilbert and Sullivan written by the aestheticist humorist "peas" did not intend to bring a bad reputation for Wilde. Wang Erde poetry published in the same year, may be poet at their own expense.In 1882, Wilde made a wonderful tour in the United States, two years later he and Constance Lloyd (Constance Lloyd) love married, two sons Cyril (Cyril) and Vivian (Vyvyan) also Was born in 1885 and 1886.In 1887, Wilde became the executive editor of a women's magazine called "Women's World" (formerly known as "Lady of the World", Oscar Wilde's renamed), and published some of his novels, comments and poems in magazines. Wilde's works are famous for their rhetoric and beauty. In May 1888, published "Happy prince and other stories". June 20, 1890, in the newspaper serial novel "Dorian Gray's portrait", lay the status of decadent artists. His first novel, The portrait of Dorian Gray, was published in 1891. The opportunity for the creation of the novel was due to the fact that Wilde had visited a famous painter, and the male model of the painter was so young andbeautiful. Sigh: "Unfortunately, such a beautiful creature, or a day of aging." The painter replied: Yes ah, if you can make the painting he replaced him like old. Later, Wilde created the novel "The portrait of Dawn Gray", and Wilde, in order to thank the painter, named his painter in his name, and then he published the prose "The Soul of Socialism" Both of these works are very successful, but the real success for Wilde is his drama works.It can be said that each of his drama works are warmly welcomed, there is a period of time, London stage actually staged him Three of his works are known as the best comedy works since Sheridan's "rumor school".In 1895, Marquess of Queensberry found Lord Alfred Douglas (Nickname "Bosie") and Oscar Wilde for four years and accused of Oscar Wilde and went to Oscar Wilde To the celebrity club to paste the note: "Oscar Oscar Wilde - pretend to be a traitor." publicly denounced Wilde is a good male "soders" (at that time has not yet born "gay" the term). The allegations made Wilde immediately write to his friend Ross.The Marquis of Queensberry is a tyrannical father, and Douglas has been arguing for a long time, and the angry Alfred Douglas called Wilde immediately appealed to the Marquis to corrupt his reputation. As a result, Wilde's appeal failed, and he was told that "committing acts of gross indecency with other men persons". According to the United Kingdom 1855 harsh criminal law amendments part 11, Wilde was convicted, in Reading and Bentonville prison served two years of hardlabor. In the past two years, Wilde stopped the drama creation, wrote the poem in the prison "song of the prison song" and the letter set "abyss Jane." In these two works, his style has changed, it is difficult to find the impact of aestheticism. During his stay in Wilde, his wife Constance and two children changed their name to Holland, moved to Italy, and most of his friends in the social and literary circles were fearless of him. Only a handful of people such as playwright George Bernard Shaw still stand up to maintain him.On May 1, 1895, the jury could not agree on Wilde's charges, and a juror agreed to bail Wilde.

He had tried to mix with Constance for two children, but Alfred Douglas offered to meet him and said he wanted to rebuild with Wilde, and Wilde chose Douglas. He lived in France during the name of the completion of the "Reading of the song", in 1898 Wilde and Douglas travel to Italy, but the last two still break up, the two together was not as goodas the original, after the release of Wilde scenery Then, Douglas began to understand that Wilde was no longer the married and everyone envy of the successful people. But if they had been in love and tired of talking to the far apart, the wayward Douglas had earlier said to Oscar Wilde: "If you are no longer the taller of Oscar, it is no longer interesting.In 1900, Wilde finally changed his Catholicism with the help of his friend and his same-sex lover, Robert Robbie Ross, who was the first gay man of Wilde, Rose's temptation led him to the path of homosexuality, when Rose was 17 and Wilde was 32. Although Wilde was later obsessed with Douglas, but for many years he loved Oscar Wilde and gave him help, and Ross's ashes were in his last wish Together). In the same year on November 30 due to meningitis in paris, Alsa (Alsace) died, at the age of 46 years old, only when Ross died with another friend to accompany him. Oscar Wilde in the cemetery of paris, according to his poetry in the "Sphinx" in the image, carved into a small Sphinx.At the end of the twentieth century, after nearly a century later, the British finally gave Wilde a statue of honor.

In the summer of 1891, Oscar met Lord Alfred “Bosie” Douglas, the third son of the Marquis of Queensberry. Bosie was well acquainted with Oscar's novel, Dorian Gray and was an undergraduate at Oxford. They soon became lovers and were inseparable until Wilde's arrest three years later. In April 1895, Oscar sued Bosie's father for libel on the charge of homosexuality. Oscar withdrew his case but was himself arrested and convicted of gross indecency and sentenced to two years of hard labor.

The Wilde case is over, and at last the curtain has fallen on the most horrible scandal which has disturbed social life in London for many years. The cries of "Shame!" with which the sentence pronounced by Mr. Justice Wills was received, indicate that a certain section of the public in court regarded the verdict with disfavour, and that feeling will very possibly be shared by a section of the public outside. But it is well to remember, that the jury are in a position to form the best and honest opinion. They have heard all the evidence and seen the witness in the box, while outsiders have only newspaper reports—necessarily containing the barest suggestion of the gruesome facts— to guide them.

The Importance of Being Earnest简介解析
(3)省略
戏剧中经常使用省略句,这样才能使戏剧语言更贴 近生活,更能引起观众的共鸣。
Yes,of course.Hello!Why all these cups?Why cucumber sandwiches?Why such reckless extravagance in one so young? Who is coming to tea?
一方面,这些省略句更贴近生活,生动活泼。能将 生活中的真实情景展现在读者面前。另一方面,这 句话是阿尔杰农追问杰克住哪里的时候说的,将杰 克想迅速转移话题,人物非常心虚的形象描绘得淋 漓尽致。
表现手法
(1) 讽刺
CECILY: Yes, but it is usually chronicles the things that have never happened, and couldn't possibly have happened. I believe that memory is responsible for nearly all the three-volume novels that Mudie sends us.
王尔德简介 (3)
王尔德简介
奥斯卡·王尔德(Oscar Wilde,1854~1900),19世纪出生在英国(准确来讲是爱尔兰,但是当时由英国统治。
)最伟大的作家与艺术家之一,以其剧作、诗歌、童话和小说闻名。
唯美主义代表人物,19世纪80年代美学运动的主力和90年代颓废派运动的先驱。
比起希腊悲剧大气磅礴的因果宿命,莎士比亚戏剧人文主义者孤独的痛苦,海明威笔下永不言败的悲剧英雄精神,他记叙的是生命里的美丽与哀愁—平凡生活里的爱,精神世界中的美,以及这两者的毁灭给人的心灵带来的巨大痛苦,突出了基督神性的救赎与归宿。
王尔德不再重复王子与公主幸福地生活一百年的陈词滥调,也不表达善有善报恶有恶报的美好愿望,只用一种淡然超脱的口吻来讲述悲剧,借助人物交错的视角与眼光让读者听见打渔人长长的叹息,夜莺最后命若游丝的歌声,小矮人哀哀的哭泣和他的心破裂的声音。
作为隐含作者的他始终对故事人物沉默不语,让基督感召中的死亡成为人物告别悲剧命运最好的完结仪式。
他以不完美的童话反复叩问生活中处处存在的矛盾与悖论、影射现实社会的困顿与复杂,以曲折的方式展现他对艺术、爱情及人生完美而纯粹的追求,亦用自己的作品预言了他独特的人生路线:生前走在享乐主义与感官主义的边缘,摇摆于物质与精神之间,对爱情既渴望又绝望,临终前于孤寂中皈依了天主教,投入基督的怀抱,和他笔下的悲剧人物一般,得到他真正的心灵安宁。
