    Apart from"the Nightingale" and "the Rose", other creatures have symbolic meanings. For instance, the Student symbolizes naivety, shallowness, and a quality of sitting idle and enjoying the fruits of others' work. He didn't understand true love and wouldn't give anything for love. The girl symbolizes materialism, so she chooses jewels that symbolize wealth and a nephew who symbolizes power.

      Pay attention to the misspelling in "the girl sybolizes." "Hypocrisy and the mammonist" are accurate to describe the girl. Good job! "the three trees are symbol of difficulty." Pay attention to the capitalization and punctuation. :(

    The students in the text represent the kind of superficial and naïve people. He doesn't understand what true love is, and he doesn't act for his true love, he just says it and doesn't do it. The girl loved money and jewelry, she rejected the student's roses, choosing more material jewelry. She is a typical materialist. None of them understand true love, all in all, it is all passion and impulsiveness, and it is only for their own interests.

    Yes,student and lizard are also have smbolic meanings. The lizard is a symbol of the cynic who thinks that "red rose" is meaningless, so it laughs at the students. The student symbolizes the person who does not know love, who himself does not love others, so he does't understand the feelings of others towards him

    I think the nightingale is a symbol of ture lover. And the student is a symbol of naivety and shallowness.I think this student does not konw what is the ture love. Also lizard is a symbol of distrustful,skeptical,pessimistic and so on. In the end of the story the girl refuse this rose and she said that she loves jewelry more. So I think this girl is a symbol of materialism. Rose is a symbol of ture love. However, the girl does not choose it.  She choose jewelry which is a symbol of power. I think this choose maybe not right. The boy also let the nightingale down.

    In this article, "the Nightingale" helps the Student get a red rose, which symbolizes people who believe in true love and are willing to sacrifice for it. The "Rose" is strained by the nightingale with her heart, which symbolizes the difficulties encountered in the pursuit of true love. In addition, there are many other things in this article that have symbolic meanings. For example, the Student is a symbol of false true lovers, this kind of people will not fight for their pursuit, just want to enjoy the success, extremely selfish; The Professor's daughter symbolizes the more material love, she thinks that love without material things is like sand; The great dusty book was an sarcastic satire of the student's rejection by the girl and his vanity; The Lizard in the story is a cynic who does not believe in love and is like a human pessimist... There are many more such examples in the article, and I think these are the ones that impressed me the most.
