Narrator

The narrator of this novel is a pilot. He told the story of the little prince and their friendship. The pilot told the reader frankly that he was a visionary and he was not used to being an overly practical adult. Instead, he likes to get along with children, who are very natural and likable. The pilot was forced to land in the Sahara desert because of plane trouble, where he met the little prince. The pilot wrote this story to calm his sadness of parting with the little prince. What happened to the little prince made the pilot sad, but it also made him feel refreshed.

Little Prince

The novel is named after the little prince, who is a mysterious and lovely child. He lives on an asteroid named B-6 12 and is the only resident on that asteroid. The little prince left his planet and traveled in the universe with his beloved rose, and finally came to the earth. In the Sahara desert, the little prince met the narrator of the novel, the pilot, and became good friends with him. In the novel, the little prince symbolizes the hope, love, innocence and childlike wisdom buried in each of us. Although the little prince met many people during his trip, he never stopped thinking about roses.

fox

The little prince saw a fox in the desert. The clever fox asked the little prince to tame it. Although the fox is more knowledgeable of the two, he makes the little prince understand the essence of life. The secret that the fox told the little prince was: only by looking with your heart can you see clearly; It is separation that makes the little prince miss his rose more; Love is responsibility.

rose

A flower who likes to buy amorous feelings, her conceit and innocence failed to make the little prince understand her love for him, but made him unbearable to run away from home. In the days of separation, she always appeared in the little prince's mind and heart.

snake

The snake was the first character the little prince met on earth. It was he who finally bit the little prince and sent him back to heaven. The snake told the little prince that he was lonely on the earth, which made the little prince feel that the snake was weak. But the snake told the little prince that he held the secret of life. He also told the little prince that he spoke like a riddle because he knew all the answers. In the book, the snake seems to be an absolute authority and an eternal mystery, which reminds people of the biblical story: Adam and Eve were lured by snakes to steal the forbidden fruit and were expelled from the Garden of Eden.

Turkish astronomer

The Turkish astronomer mentioned in Chapter 4 first discovered an asteroid named B-6 12 through a telescope in 1909. The narrator believes that the little prince is from this planet. When a Turkish astronomer first showed his discovery at an international astronomical conference, no one believed him because of his Turkish clothes. A few years later, he put forward the same argument in an elegant suit. This time, everyone echoed his opinion. The two different treatments of Turkish astronomers exposed the dangers of ignorant people's xenophobia and narrow nationalism.

king

The king is the only resident of the first small planet 325 visited by the little prince after he left his own planet. The king said that he ruled everything, and his rule must be respected and disobeyed; However, in fact, he is just a hollow reputation. He can only let others do what others want to do.

Vain man

The vain man lives on the second planet visited by the little prince. He insisted that everyone worship him. Vanity turns a deaf ear to other people's opinions, and all they hear is praise.

drunkard

The drunkard is the third person the little prince met after he left home. The prince asked him why he was drunk all day, and the drunkard replied that it was to forget his embarrassing things. What embarrassed him? Because I have been drinking all day.

businessperson

The businessman is the fourth person the little prince met, a funny adult. He sat there counting his own stars, too busy to even look up. He thinks having a star makes him rich. However, he didn't do anything useful for the star. Although the little prince met hopeless adults, businessmen were the only adults that the little prince criticized.

The Lamplighter

The lamplighter is the fifth person the little prince meets, and it is also a complicated image. At first, the lamplighter seems to be another ridiculous adult; However, his selfless dedication is called ⊥ ankle holding brain ⊥ doing his best ⊥ ankle holding ⊥? Huh? ㄒㄒ Ash Huang Huan? Title? What's your excuse? br & gt

Geographer

The geographer is the fifth and last person that the little prince met before he reached the earth. Geographers seem to be very knowledgeable. He knows where there are oceans, rivers, cities, mountains and deserts. But he doesn't know his own planet, and he refuses to explore it himself, because that's an explorer's business. He suggested that the little prince visit the famous earth.

traffic policeman

The little prince met a switchman on earth. The switchman dispatches the coming and going trains. The train carries adults who will never be satisfied with their position. He agreed with the little prince that only children can appreciate and enjoy the beauty of train running.

A peddler peddling along the street

The vendor that the little prince met on the earth to quench his thirst. You don't need to drink water after taking this medicine, and you can save 53 minutes a week. It symbolizes that the modern world has taken a crooked shortcut because of its excessive emphasis on saving time. The little prince said that he would rather spend that time leisurely looking for a well.

Desert Flower with only three petals.

A flower with three petals grows alone in the desert. Occasionally, when she saw a caravan passing by, she would mistakenly tell the little prince that there were only six or seven people on the earth. They have no roots and float in the wind.

Rose garden

When the little prince saw the blooming rose garden, he was very sad. Because his rose lied to him that she was a unique flower in the universe. However, under the guidance of the fox, the little prince knew that they were similar to his roses, but because he covered his roses, because he erected a screen for her, because he removed caterpillars for her, because he had heard her complaints, boasting and even her silence, his roses were unique in the world!

Content:

"I" met a strange and naive little prince in the vast Sahara desert-he came from a distant small planet. He visited the planet of kings, vain people, drunkards, businessmen and geologists in space, and finally came to the earth.

The little prince is a child. The child is especially gifted. He acts on instinct and is very sensitive. He can discover the essence of things through the surface. He can see the sheep in the wooden box drawn by the pilot and the elephant swallowed by the python. The encounter with the little prince made me find out how much childlike innocence he had lost and how seriously he had been conquered by the cheating world of adults: he could no longer see the sheep in the wooden box like the little prince. So, he sighed and said, "I may be a bit like those adults." I must be getting old. "

After the little prince left his asteroid and visited the planet where only one resident lived, he found that all the adults were extremely lonely. So, what do these adults who think their little world is the whole universe lack? They lack something that can make them combine with each other, lack love, and lack the fox's idea of "conquering me". The only exception is the person who lights the street lamp. Even in the deserted hall, he tries his best to perform his duties. If his world was not so narrow, he might have become the little prince's friend. ) The little prince should also learn to "conquer me". The fox taught him. The fox said that a creature, even an ordinary little creature, is unique in your eyes if it conquers you, or "you are conquered by him". The center of the little prince's whole life is his flower. He watched her bloom and praised her enthusiastically. When he first saw her, he was completely immersed in her beauty and couldn't help but blurt out, "You are so beautiful!" " "But it wasn't long before he saw through this lovely little thing. She has shortcomings: vanity, pride, paranoia and a little lying. The little prince was completely disappointed with the flowers and left his planet. Here, imaginative artists reveal to us the sharp contradiction between ideal and reality, as well as the sharp contradiction between beautiful thoughts and their efforts in the imperfect material world in a simple and strong way. The little prince admitted his mistake, but it was too late. One day, he sincerely said to his friend, "I shouldn't listen to her. I should never listen to those flowers." "You should just smell them and look at them." When the little prince found five thousand roses exactly like his flowers on the ground, he was very disappointed. However, his fox friend comforted him that his flowers were unique anyway, because he had tamed her. The fox also revealed his secret to him, which, like all great thoughts, is widely circulated: "Essence is invisible with the eyes, and can only be seen clearly with the heart." He should pursue the truth with his heart. It was with his heart that he discovered the spring of life symbolized by a well in the desert.

In this strange metaphor, everyone's measurement of things is out of shape: volcanoes, we think, are very big, but on the little prince's planet, poking a volcano is like poking a stove, and one of the active volcanoes can also be used for breakfast. If we stay on the little prince's asteroid 6 12 for a while, all our concepts of time will be confused. The little prince can see forty-four sunsets a day just by moving his chair. We are confused because everything is relative.

What does death mean in this world? Death only means abandoning the body and appearance, rising towards a star, towards love and towards one's mission.

Therefore, through the step-by-step exploration of the secret life of the little prince, "I" learned all kinds of ugliness hidden in this world, and also realized the ideal realm of pursuing sincere friendship and broad feelings.

In a word, through the experience of this little prince, the work expounds the views and criticisms of different types of adults in society and puts forward some thought-provoking questions. In particular, the author praised friendship and fraternity through the mouth of the little prince, hoping that people would develop friendship and love each other. In the author's opinion, love should be as hot as the volcano on the planet where the little prince lives, and friendship should be as conscientious as the little prince to weed the roses.

There is also some sadness in this work. But this is not the main thing, nor is it overwhelming. The story reached its climax, and this sadness quickly melted into joy. The little prince gave his friend a parting gift: "You will have many smiling stars." The pilot on the earth will hear his favorite baby laughing on a star in the Xinghai, so he will hear all the stars laughing. In this way, the sadness in the work loses its weight, and death loses its horror.
