In thisnovel,Saint subtlety delivers his serious thinking to humannature.Resorting to the traveling experience of the littleprince,he unmask grown-ups’ all sorts of bad habits and evil doingscompletely,making it possible for man to see their absurdity andweridness clear in a near distance.And what he does is deserved,forgrpwn-ups’ hearts’being hoodwinked by the dust of this mental worldtheir wills’ going mouldy even their souls’ becomingrusty
The grown-ups havelost their sensibility to nature and life,which makes them unableto see their own ugly features clear.And in this novel,Saint buildsa series of images through the little prince’s eyes to show clearlythis, such as the absolute monarch ,the conceited man,thetippler,the businessman,the lamplighter and so on.Their deedsappear so ridiculous,their pursuance seems vulgar in that way.Thegrown-ups are always busy at the so-called matters of consequencewithout any goals,just like what has been pointed out in thisnovel”Man set out on their way in express train,but they do notknow what they are looking for.Then they rush about and get excitedand turn around and around…….”This is a so easy truth that thelittle prince can know but those grown-ups who always considerthemselves mature and steady can’t understand.It’s no wonder thatlittle prince said that they only looking for.Because grown-upshave lost the innocence while children still keep it in theirhearts.That’s also why children can tell the beauty from theugliness simply.After all,what is most important is invisible andonly can be seen with the innocence in the depths of itsheart.
