Detailed explanation-1: -The two main characters in The Prince and the Pauper are, of course, Tom Canty and Edward Tudor. Because these two boys are the main characters, they also carry the main burden of advancing both the theme and the plot.
Detailed explanation-2: -The main character in the short story “The Happy Prince” by Oscar Wilde is the Happy Prince. The Swallow is also an important character worth mentioning. The Happy Prince is a statue of a former prince who used to live in a secluded palace.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Prince is described as exceedingly beautiful with golden skin, sapphires for eyes, and a ruby on his sword-hilt. Although his external beauty impresses everyone around him, he sees that beauty as only skin-deep; his true worth lies in his compassion for his townspeople and his willingness to sacrifice for them.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Happy Prince: The Happy Prince is a very kind-hearted soul. When he was alive he did not see the sorrow of others. But, now he saw a large number of people in suffering and decided to help them. He asked the swallow to distribute the gold leaves and precious stones that adorn his body, to the poor and the needy.
