Abstract

Hasanah, Miftahul. (2025). This thesis, titled Moral Values Analysis in Oscar Wilde’s The Happy Prince and Other Tales Short Stories, investigates the moral dimensions embedded in Wilde’s selected stories. Motivated by the belief that literature is a reflection of ethical values, this study aims to identify the moral values presented and analyze how these values are expressed through the characters’ actions and decisions in the stories. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method using literary analysis. The primary data consist of textual excerpts from seven selected short stories in Wilde’s collection. Data analysis follows Miles and Huberman’s interactive model, data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, supported by Lickona’s (2013) character education framework, which includes moral knowing, moral feeling, and moral action. The findings reveal that moral feeling is the most dominant aspect, followed by moral knowing and moral action. These results highlight Wilde’s emphasis on emotional sensitivity and illustrate how his stories function as tools for moral reflection and character development.
