In his fairy tale “The Emperor’s New Clothes,” Hans Christian Andersen shows the importance of truth and how lies, bolstered by pride, strip people of their dignity, virtue, and love.
The emperor lives happily, spending his time and bolstering his pride by dressing well. In fact, his people “always [say], ‘The Emperor’s in his dressing room.”’ He lets responsibilities fall by the wayside and doesn’t take care of his people.
