The Selfish Giant

The Selfish Giant - Oscar Wilde

I took this story up back in high school. In quintessence, it's an extremely simple allegory for Christianity. Giant does bad thing, he gets punished. Giant does good thing, he gets rewarded. POW. He gets to paradise in the end.

It's a children's story, I suppose, but... I don't know. I don't like children. I don't like their simplistic intellects. Hence, a story that feeds and maintains that kind of intellect is not on my mentally approved list.

I like Oscar Wilde, though. He rocks. XD
