This is a sad story. The reason is that it is talking about the antithesis of Utopia which cannot be realized in every individual. In brief, it talks about the journey of the little prince travelling the seven different planets, and use his “childish perspective” to leave a comment in planets he visited. Maybe you can interpret his whole journey as the process of life. We start as a child, and we are ignorant of the place we are living. Afterward, we begin the progress of growing, and those people the little prince had visited; somehow we will meet them in our life likewise.

Why there is a coincidence that the story also starts at the plane crashing accidence? The Little Prince is obviously not a fiction but a biography, he reveals his hidden worldview throughout the journey of the little prince and their interactions and decorate the content with a childhood perspective to make his censure seem more
