The Student, who at first is a sympathetic figure, eventually turns out to be "The Nightingale and the Rose's" enemy. The Student motivates Nightingale to give her life in order to deliver him a red rose by professing his deep love for the girl.
- However, the Student recklessly throws the flower into the road after the girl rejects it, declaring that love is pointless.
- This violates the only demand the Nightingale made of him—to be a loving lover—but it is consistent with who he is.
- The Student makes it clear that he is overly concerned with logic and practicality throughout the story, to the extent where he is unable to comprehend the Nightingale's emotive comments to him.
- The Student thus serves as an example of the drawbacks of high intellectualism; he is blind to "useless" attributes like selflessness or beauty due to his drive to comprehend everything in terms of rules and outcomes.
