Friendships are the most important kinds of relationships in The Little Prince. These friendships are really unusual, and the common link between all of them is the prince. See, the prince is friends with his flower, the fox, the narrator, and even the snake. It’s hard to imagine how you might make inter-species friendships, but for the prince something like that is never an issue. For him, it’s harder to see how he’d be friends with the businessman or the geographer who are self-involved adults with no interest in relationships or beauty or truth.
