    The document provides an analysis of the themes in Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's novel "The Little Prince". It identifies three main premises: 1) Focusing on the true and essential over superficial qualities. The story illustrates this through the Little Prince's relationship with his rose. 2) Exploration over narrowmindedness. The Little Prince has a wider perspective than the rulers of other planets. 3) The importance of relationships and establishing trust with others. As the fox says, this turns strangers into unique friends.

    Le Petit Prince (The Little Prince), the most notable work of the aviation pioneer and a well-

    known French writer, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, is an extraordinary novel not just because it
    helps build the foundation of how a kid should see the world, but it also enlightens each of us on
    how we should view the world from our inner child’s perspective. It is not just a novel, it merely
    is, it is an autobiographical work of a wanderer that seeks and finally find a way to express his
    intimate thoughts about life, about love.

    Saint-Exupéry’s work have three premises: the true and the essential, exploration vs.
    narrowmindedness, and relationships. The true and the essential; the story begins when an
    aviator gets stuck in the dessert, met a kid that he referred to as ‘the little prince,’ from a planet
    distant from earth and way smaller than it is, planet B-612. As the two of them getting along,
    ‘establishing ties’ as the fox said in chapter 21, the little prince telltale the story of his bond with
    his rose, how she lied to him about her being so special and in the little prince’s journey he
    discovered that there are thousands other roses that looks exactly like her. In chapter 21, when
    the little prince met a fox under a tree, tamed him, and soon, gave him a wisdom that made him
    realize that the truth is not always essential. The fact that his rose lied to him about her being
    peculiar, is not as important as the love that binds them,

    “because it is she that I have watered; because it is she that I have put under the glass
    globe; because it is she that I have sheltered behind the screen; because it is for her that I have
    killed the caterpillars (except the two or three that we saved to become butterflies); because it is
    she that I have listened to, when she grumbled, or boasted, or even sometimes when she said
    nothing. Because she is my rose.”

    Exploration vs. Narrowmindedness; the little prince, unlike the ruler of every other planet that he
    visited, has a wider perspective towards life. By taming the fox and learning that the essential
    things can only be seen by the heart and not by the eyes, the little prince realized that his rose is
    unique in all the world not because of how she looks or the lies that she says, but because she is
    not just a rose, she is HIS rose.

    The last theme, relationship. As the fox said, if one does not establish ties, builds trust, observe
    proper rites, they are just a regular stranger in our journey, we have no need of them, and they
    have no need of us too, just like the other strangers in their lives, but if a trust has been
    established, or as the fox call it ‘tamed,’ you are each other’s unique friend in all the world.
