It is a very educational book which is useful for everybody in life.
The character of the Giant is egoistic and undesirable to everyone.

The children in town are scared because of the sign the Giant put on his gate: "Trespassers will be prosecuted".

The trees symbolise life while Winter is a symbol of the Giant's cold heart.

Summer shows love and joy in his heart as well as carefree and playful moments.

The children represent cheerfulness and innocence. 

The wall depicts isolation and selfishness.
