Rearing him as an infant "according to the human constitution" and by "the force of things" alone, negative education inoculates Emile's soul against tyrannical pleasures and angry passions, and positively it conveys the salutary idea of necessity to his incipient understanding. Yet Rousseau's program of negative education, derived from observing its "rule," keeps Emile on nature's path. But those original faculties of strength and sense are not identical to nature's direction, and in fact their own capacities enable man to be diverted from his proper course of development. From infancy until adolescence, nature's direction points Emile toward natural happiness-the equilibrium between his original faculties or powers and his original desires. The hypothetical education of Emile depicts man's development according to that direction. At the beginning of the Emile, Rousseau defines human nature in teleological terms, referring to it as a natural "direction," "rule," and "path" of development over the course of the individual human life span. The tree refuses, replying that it only has white roses. When the Student begins to weep, the Lizard, Butterfly, and Daisy call him and the source of his distress “ridiculous.” The Nightingale, however, ponders “the mystery of Love” and then approaches a rose tree to request a red rose (60). He reflects that if he does not give her a red rose, she will reject him and break his heart. The Student continues his lament, explaining that the Prince is hosting a ball the next night and fantasizing about dancing with his love interest. She reflects that she has sung about the Student “night after night though know him not” and that he is a “true lover” (58). A nightingale (“the Nightingale”) overhears the Student’s laments. Despite his great learning, his life is “wretched” due to this lack. The story opens with a student (“the Student”) lamenting that his unnamed love interest will only dance with him if he can give her a red rose, which he cannot find.
