Nightingale in this short story written by Oscar Wilde. The nightingale and the rose is the story of a student. Who truly loves professor's daughter. The student wants to dance with her in the party of the prince. But the girl ask for a 'Red Rose', she would dance with him only when the student will bring her the rose. The boy is so up set that there is no any red rose in all his garden.
The story Nightingale has a lot of depth in to days generation people has given a wrong definition of 'Love'. Love is not about getting the one you love. It is about making sacrifice for the one you love or you are for.
The definition of love has been changed in today's generation as now it is all about getting the one whom you love. In the story, 'The Nightingale' cared for the boy and therefore Nightingale sacrifice his very life for the boy.
"We still have hope for the revolution of human desires".
When the Nightingale came to know that, she has to sacrifice her life just for the red rose without any hesitation, the Nightingale was ready and committed that even at the cost of her life she would bring the red rose for the boy.
" Death is a great prize to pay for a red rose " - Nightingale.
Here, we see the contrast in the nature Nightingale and the girl. While Nightingale sacrifice her own life for the boy for whom she cared on the other hand the girl rejected the boy, who loved her truly. When the boy was rejected he looses faith from love with the great disappointment the student went to his home and cried out of disappointment.
"What a silly thing love is"
"It is not half as useful as logic"
Without caring and thinking boy's true feeling the girl rejected the boy and this led the student to not believe ever in ' love'. He now has started thinking when someone is in love, he starts believe in the things, which are not going to happen. And he says,
"It is quiet unpractical".
Thus, just careless of dumping the student by the girl made the boy to not believe in love ever in his life. He lost his entire faith from love. The writer wants to suggest with the story to reader that, always do respect the true feelings and emotions of people around you.
