Summary "Het Granaatappelhuis" by Oscar Wilde is a fictional work written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the young king, who finds himself grappling with his new status and the wealth that comes with it, while yearning for the freedom of his past life among common people. The narrative explores themes of beauty, social inequality, and the burdens of kingship. The opening of the book introduces the young king on the eve of his coronation. As he reflects on his childhood, he longs for the simplicity and joy he experienced while living in the forest, far removed from royal duties. His dreams reveal his growing awareness of societal injustice, as he encounters visions of the oppressed and the contrasting opulence that surrounds him. These dreams lead him to reject the extravagant attire prepared for his coronation, insisting that his royal garb is woven from the sufferings of the poor. This sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the responsibilities and moral dilemmas that accompany his newfound power. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
