The Little Prince
June 30, 2008The story of The Little Prince is written in the form of an allegory; the characters do not have names, but are rather “I” and “he.” Others are generic: the astronomer, the geographer, the king, the businessman, the lamplighter, and so on. As in allegory, they represent one phase of human life. The king is authority; the lamplighter, devotion to duty; the businessman, greed. The flower is a coquettish woman, nevertheless beloved by the Prince; the serpent is death; the fox, true to his literary image, represents ruse.
The story concerned Historical approach because its involve human race and Psychological approach because it affect with relate the way we interprets the problems and we take for granted the simple ways on how to solve it and we are focus only in the problems by not doing any solution on how to solve it.
The most events that happen in the story that I really like is when the little prince falls in love with the rose, who returns his love but is unable to express it. He leaves to see what the rest of the universe is like, and visits six other asteroids each of which is inhabited by an adult who is foolish in his own way. This part of the story linger in mind and I tried to imagine how it happen and so mysterious to happen. But, it struck me most because falling in love with nothing…yes..a rose is nothing for me.. a rose has no emotions or felling to fell your love and it is a flower that soon will die with out felling nothing to you..but, the prince in the story is like a father that he never cross his eyes to his children…,love requirements is not only accomplish all your responsibility but need TRUST…RESPECT….HONESTY…
Turning the page of the story and find the most reality part that everyone can relates with “The Conceited Man” who wants to be admired by everyone, but lives alone on his planet. He cannot hear anything that is not a compliment. Living in this world is a blessing…..right?..? but try to question your self ….WHAT IS REALLY LIFE..??
Also the part…of…“The Drunkard/Tippler” who drinks to forget that he is ashamed of drinking…, sounds funny….,but everything has it reason…,escaping from our problems is betraying our own self..
