Nightingale and roes: by oscar wild

The story. Is about nightingale who sacrifices herself for boy's love but he was unable to appreciate it.
Setting
The Bush is placed directly underneath. The student's window. This is significant because it reflects on how the young student doesn't. Appreciate what he can see.
Symbolism : Red Rose
The student is in love with the professors. Daughter and needs one red rose in order to dance with her. The ref rose symbolizes true,pure. And passionate love.he only knew that the things that are written down in books how is this symbolic? Suggesting he knows nothing of love just plain knowledge that can be learnt through. Reading in books not experiencing in life.
Repetition
When nightingale hears what the boys wants she says "here at last is a true lover" and "here indeed is the true lover ".
"All night long she sang"
It emphasis the pain of nightingale went through for a nightingale for a rose. It emphasize how long it the nightingale had to sing.
Simile
"Passion has made it's face like pale ivory"
This reveals how much love he has for the lady. The nightingale later on in the story turns 'pale ivory' because of the passion it has for the man.
"As white as the foam of the sea"
It gives visual imagery to the reader emphasizing how it is the opposite colour if red.
irony
"What is the heart of a bird
Compared to the heart of man"
The heart of bird is much wiser than the heart of student. Bird is sacrificed itself to rose for a student where as the student simply gave up on what he thought was love.
Student looked up from the grass and listened but he could not understand what the nightingale was saying to him. He only knew the things that are written down in the books.this is contrast nightingale sacrifice himself for one red rose. When the student does not understand.intact nightingale is true lover not the student.
'So he returned to his room and pulled out a great dusty book and began to read '
A green dusty book suggests how he rather avoids something such a impractical. Nightingale give her life to make a rose but it is not importance in students heart.
Tone
Asked,said,whispered, the green lizard,butterfly and daisy ask why the young student crying. Tone is very softer and more silent.  The young student "weep" it makes a lighter and airy atmosphere.
Sibilance
Nightingale understood the secret of the student sorrow and she sat silent in the oak tree and thought about the mystery of love
Personification
"The trees shook it's head"
It symbolizes as a genital reaction this action repeated through many trees.
Oxymoronic ideas
"Love is perfected by death"
This contrast with how the student thinks as he beloved that he is able to buy love of the lady. This also suggest love requires sacrificed.
Synthetic parallelism
'She swept over the garden like a shadow and like a shadow she said through the grove'
The symbolism​ of shadow suggests how the nightingale is a ways in the dark and student couldn't see the amount of sacrifice.
imagery
He threw the rose into the street where it feel into the gutter and cart wheel went over it. This emphasis the waste of the sacrifice of nightingale. Student does not know sacrificed that is made for the rose to blossom.
Themes
Wealth and class
The girl was materialistic and her love is measured in terms of wealth. The chamberlain's nephew has sent some real jewels .and everybody knows that real jewels cost far more than flowers .lover is determined by class: "after all who are you"? Only student...
Love
Love is fickle. The student quickly changed his mind after he realised he could not provide girl with what she wanted.  Love become insignificant and useless just kike rose that fell into gutter logic is more important . What a silly thing love is? The student goes back to studying philosophy and study metaphysic.
