The aim of this study is to look at the impacts of industrialization on human values in Victorian era.This essay emphasizes how The Happy Prince skilfully employs fairy tale conventions to highlight important Victorian issues, involving the rise of aristocratic capitalist society, the challenge to the prevailing Christian socio-moral order, and the subsequent formation of class division. This study falls under the category of qualitative research since it accurately describes and interprets the indications made by the story's key characters. Both primary and secondary data are included as a source for the current study. The short tale served as the major source of data, and secondary sources included books, periodicals and magazines. The data was collected, combined, examined, and ultimately presented using description approach.
