Right from her childhood, Maria was calmer, more composed, more confident and more tolerant than other children of her age. She had immense will-power and tenacity that gave her the strength to make sacrifices few people can make – separation from her mother, living alone in a hostile hostel, gruelling training schedules and only occasional meetings with her father. She put up patiently with the torment and humiliation inflicted on her by her fellow trainees. Thus, very early in her life, she learned that excellence comes at a price.

In the initial part of the story Lushkoff comes across as a characterless lazy beggar who wants easy life. 

He begs for food because he doesn't want to work. 

Skvortsoff tries to make him work by offering him a wood chopping job.

His cook Olga cries everyday because Lushkoff never chops even a single piece of wood.

Lushkoff is a smart liar who resorts to many tricks to save himself from work. He cares little for the old cook and there is no change in his lethargic attitude.

The character of Lushkoff shines at the end of this story when he changes completely and surprises Skvortsoff. 

We see a different shade of Lushkoff who is proud of his work. He shows gratitude for the old woman Olga whose tears forced him to change.

Yes, I agree with the statement, “Goodness can never be destroyed”. In the story the Happy Prince had goodness for all. He had a kind heart and was moved by the widespread poverty and misery of the people. So, he had his great will to help others in adverse circumstances. He gave his eyes, gold and jewels to the poor. The swallow was the messenger of the Happy Princes. When the swallow died at his feet, the heart of the Happy Prince was broken into two due to its death. The statue of Happy Prince was no longer useful and beautiful. It was pulled down. When the statue was melted in a furnace, the leaden heart did not melt because goodness can never be destroyed.

The child is wholly responsible for his predicament because at every stage we find him wandering off after one attraction or the other inspite of repeated instructions from his mother not to do so. Initially we find him staring down in front of the wayside toy shops. Next he wanders off into the mustard fields, chasing dragonflies. Then he slows down to admire the insects and worms that line the footpath.

After that he gets distracted by the rain of flower petals and the cooing of the doves and has to be pulled back to the main road by his mother. On entering the fair he again slows down in front of the sweetmeat seller, the flower seller, the snake charmer and the roundabout before realising that he is completely on his own.

The Guru told his disciple that it was dangerous to stay in a Kingdom of fools. He said that there was no justice only foolish, unpredictable behaviour. According to him the kingdom would not last long.

 He knew his parents would say that he was too old to play with the balloons so he did not ask his parents to buy them for him

When he reaches near the roundabout, he wishes to get a ride on it and he asks his parents for it. When he gets no reply, he turns around to look for his parents. But he finds nobody around him.
