In the story The Nightingale and the Rose, there is presence of a lot of symbols. These symbols give all the depth to this short story and it is that, that makes us think after finished the reading. Every character has a purpose and represents the variety and extremes that we can find in our society. With these extremes, Irony can therefore be seen. The fact that the Nightingale gave her life to make assessable a red rose for the young student, the red rose being the key to the heart of the princess, and at the end, he just throws the rose in the street because the princess finally refuses it, is just ironic. The Nightingale and the Rose is the reflection of any society, where there are some people that are very generous (the nightingale), that take advantage (the princess), naïve (the student) and so on. We can see, how everybody is connected together, the effects that we have on others, in other words the chain of societies.
