What moral values can you emulate from The Happy Prince?

Sacrifice is a major moral lesson of the story. The prince, in his selfless service to the people and care for the same does not mind sacrificing all the materials that his body is made up of. Sacrifice comes out of love and care for others and it manifests in the service for people through the realization of absolute solitude and unity among humans. The Happy Prince, who is merely a statue, understands this. Not all humans do.

Materialism takes another part of the story's theme. The concept of beauty always seems to be associated with the possession of wealth and expensive materials that the statue is adorned with. The villagers see prince no more beautiful when all his materials are absent. All the inner beauty of prince--love, sacrifice and selflessness--are far from being seen.

Charity is another theme of the story for the kind of sacrifice and magnanimity that the prince has for the general benevolence of people. He does not mind if he goes blind or loses all the expensive materials he has in his body.
