The red rose in British writer Wilde’s famous fairy tale The Nightingale and The Rose conveys abundant symbolic meanings. Superficially the rose of blood created by the nightingale at the cost of its life is a flower of love and a flower of passion. But on the deep level, the red rose is a rose of art, which is a vivid carrier of the author’s aesthetic theory. Meanwhile it’s also a rose of soul, which embodies the soul of the nightingale, i.e. Wild’s own soul. The breakdown of the blood rose satirizes and criticizes the drawbacks and corruption of the British society in the late 19th century. The author appeals to the public to treasure true love. The works, to some extent, can be regarded as a Bible of Love.
