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 effervescence akin to that of
the 1001 nights.
It is the tale of a love struck 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.

Early it is a

the personal life
Really it is a great feeling to read the short
story of Oscar Wilde. Because if we look into the personal life of the writer
then it is full of suffering. he was heavily talking opium. at the same time he
has spent his last year of life in prison, so no one can expect great thing
from him. but it is not so.
What we have learn from the theory of
DEPERSONALIZATION , that work of art and poet- writer are two different
entity. we shouldn't be judgmental that if writer's personal
life is disturbed, then his writing also not will be good.
there are many examples in literature,
for example, Eugene O'Neill that his personal life was also full of pain and
suffering. but then even he is famous as American Shakespeare. His works
are tremendously popular among the people. My point is that WORK IS
IMPORTANT, not the personal life.
Nightingale and Rose is very short,
simple and touching story. within few pages what writer tell that can't be told
in even long books. on the one side we have beautiful, sweet Nightingale who
sacrifice life for love, and when we come to know that boy has thrown Red Rose
, we feel sorry for Nightingale.
