Explanation As Books The Nightingale and the Rose

An allegorical fable of love, sacrifice and selfishness. As with all of Wilde's short stories it embodies strong moral values and is told with an effervescence akin to that of the 1001 nights.

It is the tale of a lovestruck student who must provide his lover with a red rose in order to win her heart. A nightingale overhearing his lament from a solitary oak tree is filled with sorrow and admiration all at once, and decides to help the poor young man.

She journeys through the night seeking the perfect red rose and finally comes across a rambling rose bush but alas, the bush has no roses to offer her. However, there is a way to MAKE a red rose, but with grave consequences.

Comment On Based On Books The Nightingale and the Rose

...life is very dear to all. It is pleasant to sit in the green wood, and to watch the sun in his chariot of gold, and the moon in her chariot of pearl...Yet love is better than life and what is the heart of a bird compared to the heart of a man? - Oscar WildeThe Nightingale and The Rose by Oscar Wilde is a satirical and heart-breaking story about love - the all-consuming passion of which nightingales sing and the self-serving quest of the heart that some humans choose to make of it. A

If anyone knew the risks of loving, it was no doubt Oscar Wilde. He served time in prison for his love, and his time in prison precipitated his death. The Nightingale and the Rose is one of his fairy tales, of which he wrote a collection. A story about love and sacrifice and the risk that that sacrifice will be undeserved and unappreciated. The only one in this story who understands love is the nightingale. The bird says, "Yet Love is better than Life, and what is the heart of a bird compared to

You got me you little shit.My review stuck in my mind as I read, short and (to me at least) funny: Dudes, if you're trying to get back your wife or looking for a girl, you need to read this.Then Oscar started to get to me. I melted. I remembered the times before reality, cynicism and societal manliness invaded my romantic, child-like heart. My eyes burned with the production of moistness.I opened to Oscar. He said, "Relax. Trust me. Look deep inside. Remember. Don't be afraid of the ideologies

Wilde's stories are so captivating. I am amazed how he managed to include a rollercoaster of emotions in only 12 pages

So eloquent and heartfelt, I couldnt help but have a tear in my eyeOscar Wilde can truly write. And this confirms it. http://www.literaturecollection.com/a...How shallow we are.

This is the saddest, most tragic story I've ever read. It starts out as a fairytale and you think it will end well. Love is described as the most beautiful thing in the world, by the nightingale outside the student's window.Be happy, cried the Nightingale, be happy; you shall have your red rose. I will build it out of music by moonlight, and stain it with my own heart's-blood. All that I ask of you in return is that you will be a true lover, for Love is wiser than Philosophy, though she is wise,

Ah, on what little things does happiness depend!A fairy tale with a tragic ending.A poignant and heartbreaking story about sacrificing oneself for an unrequited love.True love set against greed and cupidity. Which would triumph? Which would be crushed?Surely love is a wonderful thing. It is more precious than emerald and dearer than fine opals. Pearls and pomegranates cannot buy it, nor is it set forth in the market place. It may not be purchased of the merchants, nor can it be weighed out in
