Nightingale and Rose

It's great. Wilde's fairy tales always have not the most perfect ending, but they are very realistic and beautiful, a combination of romance and reality, just like his life. Percy is a beautiful boy, but prison is a reality. In that era, a man who dared to wear garter stockings and tights and loved a beauty of the same gender as himself, his life was undoubtedly as beautiful as a fairy tale.

In the sky of the city, on a high stone pillar, there is a statue of the Happy Prince. His body was covered with gold leaves, and his eyes were two sapphires; a shining ruby ​​was embedded in the hilt of his sword. People admire him. "He is as beautiful as a weathervane," said a city councilman. He wanted to show his taste, but he was afraid that people would misunderstand him and say he was unrealistic, so he had to say: "Unfortunately, it's of no use." "Why don't you learn from the Happy Prince?" A reasonable mother said to her son who was clamoring for the moon, "People have never been as wishful thinking and crying as you." "It's so happy that there are people in the world who are so happy." A frustrated man looked up at the great statue and murmured to himself.

In people's minds, fairy tales are told to children, but here fairy tales are told to all people with childlike innocence between the ages of 18 and 80. In the story, the nightingale resolutely decided to dedicate herself and use her life blood to turn into a flower of life, a red rose, for the love of a college student. The story is touching, and it also shocked a group of us who have childlike innocence outside the book. But unfortunately, the professor's daughter did not accept his rose due to family problems. It's frustrating.

The nightingale sacrificed her life in exchange for dyeing the petals of the rose red so that the rose could attract the attention of a young man. However, in order to bring a red rose to his beloved girl, the young man only paid attention to the beautiful bouquet of flowers and ignored the nightingale's sacrifice. In the story, the selfless devotion of the nightingale is in sharp contrast to the beauty of the rose. This made me think that we should pay attention to the inner beauty and true emotions, and cherish the people and things that are selfless, rather than just pursuing our own interests.

Wilde's classic work, this is a fairy tale truly written for adults. For Wilde, the artist was the embodiment of Jesus in modern society. His works are the crystallization of his pain and life, just like the nightingale dyeing the rose red with its blood. The nightingale sighed: "The price of dying to buy a red rose is really high. Whose life is not precious? However, 'love' is more valuable than life. How can the heart of a bird compare with the heart of a human being?"

The nightingale died for love, but humans ruined the rose. The story tells the story of a nightingale who was moved by the love of a college student and cultivated roses. After the professor's daughter received the red rose from the student, she still thought he was too poor and rejected his love. So, in anger, the student threw the bloody rose that Nightingale had exchanged for his life onto the street. The rose fell into the gutter, and a wheel ran over it. The work praises the value of love and denounces money worship in the world.

The Nightingale and the Rose contains nine fairy tales by Oscar Wilde, each one of which is magical in my heart! How could Wilde be so cruel? He used extremely romantic and beautiful words to outline the delicate roses, but when he stretched out his hand, he could prick people with blood. The 9 stories include love, family, friendship... Each story can make people think deeply. The most impressive ones are "The Happy Prince", "The Nightingale and the Rose", "The Selfish Giant", "The Young King"... The most popular among them should be "The Nightingale and the Rose" corresponding to the title of the book: the nightingale falls in love with the boy, But the young man only wanted to give the most beautiful rose in the world to his sweetheart. The nightingale used her singing and hard work to "raise" a rose for the young man. The young man excitedly held the rose and presented it to his sweetheart. However, the girl who was attracted by money refused without mercy and threw the rose into the ditch angrily. When the carriage passed by, the rose was crushed into mud. What is love? The nightingale sacrificed her life for this, but it was worthless to the boy... I couldn't help but fall into silence at the end of each story. It is indeed a fairy tale written for adults.

Fairy tales with their own expressive characteristics are known as "aesthetic" by readers, and most of them end in tragedy. In the innocent text, symbolic meanings are used to enlighten people's thinking. It tells the story of the nightingale who dedicated herself to love, but pure love was tainted by snobbishness and class; the happy prince was sad because he saw suffering, and the swallow gave up his life because of his kindness. After they have given too much, they are no longer valuable, and people regard them as worthless things, which satirizes the ugliness of human nature. The giant's garden ushered in spring because of these beautiful flowers for children, giving people good things that need to be shared with others to get real happiness. "Loyal Friends" tells us to learn to choose friends and not just give in friendship. The arrogant Rocket overestimates his own value, is too ambitious, arrogant, and does not listen to the opinions of others, and ends up deceiving himself and others. The young king lived a luxurious life at first, but after being awakened by three dreams, he began to reflect on himself, and was recognized by his ministers and people. Star Child was arrogant because of his beauty and refused to recognize his mother, which made his appearance ugly. Later, after repentance, he did many good deeds in the process of finding his mother, restored his appearance, got his own throne, and governed the country in an orderly manner. The story brings out Wilde's childlike innocence, his love and pursuit of beauty and art, and his criticism of the ugliness of society, which makes people think.

What a great book! I especially like the character Nightingale. She is willing to sacrifice herself for true love. This selfless spirit touches me very much. And the illustrations in the book are also very beautiful and artistic. I feel that the author Oscar Wilde and the translator Lin Huiyin are both amazing, able to create such a beautiful story. I think this book is not only suitable for children, but also for us adults. It makes us believe in the power of love again.

I never understood Oscar Wilde

Learned a lot

I think good writers are good storytellers

I learned a lot, and it's good to calm down and watch, especially the scene where the afternoon sun shines through the blinds, the kitten lazily crawls on the windowsill, and the shadow stretches in the palm of your hand!

His works are like roses with thorns, beautiful and sharp. I can always find my shadow in the stories.

I also learned a lot

It's a good, beautiful fairy tale, full of philosophy and healing, suitable for reading at night.
