It created a person who has no ability to appreciate aesthetics and nature but they knew just to appreciate the knowledge received by books. It just produced an imbalanced individual who is full of head knowledge but lacks heart knowledge. This Victorian education failed to produce a balanced individual. By considering head knowledge as the best, they ignored arts and human emotions and they viewed them as cheap.
They knew all the facts written in books but they failed to understand the emotions of the human hearts. The civilians of the Victorian society were full of head knowledge but lacks practical knowledge. Oscar Wilde has not used a specific name to this character but used a common name as “The Student” to resemble most of the students of the Victorian society. From the beginning to the end of the story, the student is full of head knowledge but lacks practical intelligence. In this prose, the character of the student represents the common civilians of the Victorian society.
