I must forgive you
A person cannot keep a poisonous snake in his chest forever
You can't get up at night
Plant thorns in the garden of the soul.
--Oscar. Wilde
Adult fairy tales are really not fairy tales.
We have heard of "Grimm's Fairy Tales", "Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales" and "One Thousand and One Nights" since we were young, each fairy tale is popular and is a beautiful story that accompanies childhood.
The little boy dreams of becoming a hero who punishes evil and promotes good and upholds justice, and the little girl hopes to become a gentle and kind princess and live happily with a handsome prince.
Wilde was the first writer to propose the concept of adult fairy tales,
He said: Fairy tales are not written for children, but for childlike people between the ages of eighteen and eighty.
The famous French fairy tale novel, Saint-Exupéry's "The Little Prince", tells the loneliness, magical opportunities, and naïve times that adults can never go back to in the tone of a child.
Therefore, while classifying "The Little Prince" as a children's book, it still attracts many adult readers.
Because he tells the story while containing the philosophy of life in the adult world.
In Wilde's fairy tales, the story is not beautiful, nor is it warm, and it has a dark taste.
In fact, every time I read the story he told, I thought there was a perfect ending, Wilde would give you a slap on the head - wake up, I will not give you candy to eat.
Like The Little Prince, we know Wilde's fairy tales, and they are not just fairy tales.
Lu Xun and Zhou Zuoren's translation of the "Collection of Novels Outside the City" includes Wilde's work "The Happy Prince", which is the earliest domestic collection of essays to introduce Wilde's works.
Nightingale and the Rose is a classic anthology of Wilde's works, which contains many of his representative works, including the "Happy Prince", which was first intended for Chinese readers.
The more familiar, eponymous story "The Nightingale and the Rose" is not difficult to find wilder depictions of unrealistic, immoral, intuitive, instinctive and inspirational formal appeals and styles.
The little nightingale sacrificed her life in order to fulfill the love of the young student and let him get a red rose that expressed his love.
The young students dedicated the blood of the nightingale, the reddest rose, to the princess they admired.
The princess said: I am afraid that this is not the same as my skirt, because others have given me the jewelry that best matches this dress. Everyone knows that jewelry is more precious than flowers.
Disheartened, the young student no longer believed in love and threw the rose into the street, and the rose fell into the gutter, and a wheel ran over it.
The rose that nightingale paid for with her life is worthless to others and no one cherishes.
All the efforts of the nightingale were ignored, representing the pure bright red rose falling into the mud.
What was originally beautiful is torn apart, and it stings our hearts again and again. This is the cruel reality of the adult world, the world is cold, compassionate and pitiful.
When Wilde tells these adult fairy tales, each reversal emphasizes life itself in the appeal of form and decadent style. Behind every story is a beautiful and self-aware artistic experience.
The artist's identity seems to add a beautiful temperament to Wilde's romantic nature.
He has spent his whole life pursuing beauty, or having a paranoid madness about beauty. The direct sensory pursuit of beautiful forms, the combination of art and life constitutes a new mode of life.
Eagleton's St. Oscar comments on Wilde, self-referential language, expedient fictional truths. Contradictions and deconstruct the human subject, the criticism as a creative form of writing, the body and pleasure that confront the Fassy ideology of hypocrisy.
All this makes Wilde's image as Roland Bart of Ireland stand out to us.
As the epitome of Victorian aestheticism in Britain, Wilde tells stories that are artistically valued by aesthetics.
As he himself argued, the art of life, his thoughts were hidden in obscure objective facts.
People are always inclined to pursue the truth and ignore the connotation of life, art is a kind of transition and extension of the world of intention to the world of life.

Wilde was born into a traditional Irish family in England, in which he had Irish national identity, imagination and creativity. Its national identity has a wild nature that has not yet been domesticated by modern civilization.
The American masterpiece "Gone with the Wind" that we are familiar with, the heroine Scarlett, who has a distinct personality and dares to love and dare to hate, has half Irish blood, and can roughly glimpse some of the image characteristics of the Irish:
Wilde had said he liked men with futures and women with a past.
There is also a label "homosexuality" on him, which is also the most talked about by people, but his achievements are not as loud as the name of homosexuality.
Everything seems to be conclusive, the so-called artist is nothing more than a pagan with a quirk of sexual orientation.
Wilde described his love, which was beautiful, elegant, the noblest of feelings, and as long as the elderly possessed intellect and the youth had the joy and hope of life, he was constantly present between the elder and the youth.
His former lover, Alford Douglas, Wilde liked to call him Posey, and he himself mentioned that he was impressed by his beauty at the first sight of Posey.
This does not contradict the direct senses of his aesthetic genre, and the love he pursues inside is a platonic spiritual love, an aesthetic utopia detached from reality.
Britain abolished the death penalty for homosexuals in 1861, and the irony of the penal abolition of the penal code was highlighted after the scandal over promiscuity with multiple same-sex boyfriends.
When Wilde was buried at the Lachaise Cemetery in Paris, admirers around the world left deep and shallow lip prints on the tombstones, which were the most sincere greetings for Wilde
