Description

Moralistic Approach of the Story “The Little Prince” The famous novel "The Little Prince" by Antoine de Saint-Exupery is a story about the value of friendship and love. The author wrote this narrative for people of all ages. Using the Moralistic Approach, this analysis will focus on chapter 21(twenty-one) of the story, which deals with morality and philosophical issues in a specific literary piece. The prince journeyed to the earth in Chapter 21(twenty-one) of the narrative because he wanted to learn new things that his planet lacked, and he left his rose there. The fox emerged as he traveled throughout the earth. Because the fox is lurking beneath the apple tree, the prince cannot see it. The prince invites the fox to play with him, but the fox refuses, and the prince is perplexed; the fox responds, "I am not tamed. The prince is inquisitive about what the fox stated about what tamed means, and throughout their conversation, the fox explains what tamed means to the prince. For some reason, the fox does not want to play with the prince, "They have guns, and they hunt. It is very disturbing. They also raise chickens. These are their only interests.” the fox said. We can observe the fox being cautious or having second thoughts about trusting someone in that part of the story because all of the hunters that enter that area tend to kill the fox with guns. We may connect it to reality, where it is difficult to trust others easily, perhaps because of past wounds, as many of us have been hurt before and will continue to be hurt as long as we live, and this is one of the challenges that we have faced in the past and continue to face today.

As the fox continues to explain why he wants to be tamed by the prince, the prince gradually grasps what the fox is trying to say. The prince must take one step at a time to tame the fox. At first, the prince is far away, and the fox will stare at him until he approaches and tames the fox. We can see the morals in that section of the story where we can reach the mountain top, which represents our goals, in only one jump, problems can be conquered, and goals can be achieved, but only one step at a time. The fox and the prince form a friendship in that section of the story, but it is only temporary because the prince must continue his journey. As the prince and fox say their goodbyes, the fox confesses his secret, "And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye." said the fox. That line of the fox expresses that you can't see goodness with your eyes alone, but you can see good things with your heart, and that line recognizes the prince's importance of the

rose he left on his world. In reality, we can't always appreciate and value such things because we're caught off guard and tend to value meaningless things that we've been focusing on.

To sum up, the findings of this analysis led to the following conclusions and assumptions. Chapter 21 (twenty-one) has numerous moral lessons, like choosing someone deserving of your trust, taking one step at a time in every problem and situation, and realizing that you may not realize the entire significance of a moment until it becomes a memory. As a result, using a moralistic approach, we can examine the morality within this literary piece by Antoine de SaintExupery, in which his written story of a Little Prince conveys the importance of a fox who teaches the Prince to see with one's heart rather than just with one's eyes, and the main moral lesson of this chapter is that value, not the things you have in life, but rather you have in life...
