【正文】 sponsibility. They even don’t know the true meaning of life and lack the sense of self value. Residents in the five asteroids The symbolic meaning of the residents in the five asteroids seems to be selflove. What the residents live on the first five plas is the king, the conceited man, a tippler, businessman and a geographer. In a sense, they are all selfish and selfinterest. They are only interested in the partly ―selfvalue‖ of themselves and try to satisfy themselves from the world. They are full of desire and all have an absurd logic for their absurd behavior. They are lacking the passion and interest of the real world. The king is the symbol of political power clearly. He believes that all people are under his authority and he controls everything. The king is a rational symbol of authority from a deeper level. He is an autocratic ruler who does not allow others to defy his orders. The authority of the king cannot control weather the little prince yawn or not, he cannot order the sunset e early neither. What his authority is to condemn an old rat to death from time to time but he has to pardon the rat each time to allow his authority to be continued. The conceited man wears a strange hat to salute to people when they applaud to 6 him. But he has no one others on his pla at most times. He believes that everyone is his admirer and what he hears is praise. The conceited man wants the little prince to regard him as the handsomest, the bestdressed, the richest, and the most intelligent man on his pla. However, he is the only man on his pla. The little prince feels strange what in that for interest him for to make people admire him. The symbolic meaning of the conceited man is ridiculous vanity. The businessman is even too busy to look up when the little meets him. He only breaks up 3 times from calculated the number of stars in 54 years he live on his pla. He keeps on calculating all the times and tries to own stars by this way. He nearly fets the name of the star without the reminding of the little prince. He names stars that little golden objects that set lazy men to idle dreaming. What he does with the stars is counting them and writes down the number of the stars on a little paper and then put this in a drawer and lock it with a key. The businessman just wants to process and before he meets the little prince he never thought what he should do with the stars after he owned those. The symbolic meaning of the businessman is greed. The tippler drinks all day to fet that he is shamed and what he shamed of is his drinking. The little prince feels so odd of the tippler and leaves puzzled. The symbolic meaning of the tippler is absurdity. The geography records the rivers and mountains of stars but know nothing about his pla. What he wants is to occupy the knowledge. He even never considers what to do with the knowledge. The symbolic meaning of the geography is dogma and the rapacity. The residents are so utilitarian, vanity, absurd, lack of imagination and romantic feelings. They are all symbol of deficient selflove, namely, selfish. The king is eager to power。s, 1987:67) It reflects the human experience and survival significance in the plain text through symbolism.

The work is so charming and successful has many factors and the use of various symbolic meanings in most important one of them. Antoine de SaintExupery connects his work with the real life and improved his thoughts through symbolism.

The little prince, the main character in the book, is distressed, and then he explores what is meaningful to him. In the process of the experience, he observes those ―adults‖ who are occupied with a lot of valueless things such as hunting for power, being vain and searching for too much owning, working and learning. The little prince pursues the true value of life and true love without any obstacle. The subject of this thesis is mainly about the little prince’s course of realizing love and responsibility by analyzing symbolic meanings in the book. It begins with escaping from the love restricting, experiencing the course of taming others, and ended with returning of love and responsibility. In the society of lacing of human touch, searching for love and responsibility has a profound meaning indeed.
