The sarcasm used by the author expresses his critical attitude towards some of the phenomena and ideas present in the work. This can serve as a tool to emphasize the negative aspects in the behavior of the characters and cause the reader to reflect on the socio-cultural aspects that the author draws attention to. The ironic attitude towards the prince's attempts to create an ideal monarchy and the misunderstanding of his activities in St. Petersburg create an additional level of conflict, enriching the text and enhancing the impact ^{[8, p. 35]}.

In the story "The Prince of Oldenburg" by F. A. Iskander, social problems are revealed through various aspects of the conflict, which serve as an allegory or mirror image of real social difficulties.

One aspect of the conflict, which can be considered as an allegory, is the confrontation between the Prince of Oldenburg and local residents who oppose experiments with monkeys and desecration of their grandfather's forests. This conflict symbolizes the strained relationship between modern environmental issues and the pursuit of economic development and progress. The prince, who represents power and progress, faces opposition from local residents who defend their nature and traditions.

Another aspect of the conflict, perhaps a mirror image of real public problems, is the confrontation between the Prince of Oldenburg and an anonymous scoundrel who accuses the prince of planning to poison visitors. This aspect reflects the problem of political intrigue, slander and manipulation inherent in modern society. The prince is faced with false accusations and has to fight them to protect his reputation and good name.

The end of the conflict in the story is not clearly or definitively traced. Nevertheless, the Prince of Oldenburg shows a willingness to subdue his pride and accept the demands of local residents in the name of a common cause. This may indicate the need for compromise and cooperation in solving social problems. The story raises important issues related to ecology, power and manipulation, which remain relevant in real society.
