In the article, special attention is paid to the importance of understanding and perception of
the concept SACRIFICING and its humane component basing on the examples of famous literary works by
Oscar Wilde. We chose Wald’s fairy tales as the material of the study, because they embodied the author’s
basic life principle, according to which creativity is not an ‘imitation of life’ since it ‘describes what never
happened’, but a deep vision of reality in all its phantasmagoric manifestations. Moreover, it is in his tales that
Oscar Wilde is more drawn to eternal values: love, compassion, sacrifice for the sake of the pleasure of others.
The artist’s storytelling style is full of morality, where the main issues are human feelings and relationships.
We consider that the fairy-tales “The Nightingale and the Rose”, “The Happy Prince”, “The Devoted Friend”
are the best examples of reproducing and describing thе key points of our research. The concept
of SACRIFICING was defined as a potential component of the personal values system, which facilitates the
establishment and development of will efforts through the prism of the inner experiences and senses. Unity of
consciousness, sense, and behavior is conсentrated here with the meaning ‘actions speak louder than a thousand
words’. At the same time, it is noted by us, that today’s interest to the Wilde’s problems of certain philosophical
concepts as ‘love’, ‘generosity‘, ‘sacrificing’, ‘aestheticism’, ‘freedom‘ is constantly increasing.
