《小王子》 / The Little Prince
[[TheLittlePrince|《小王子》 / The Little Prince]] appears in 180.爱丽丝梦游仙境:世界多荒诞,我也是自己的主宰(下) as the main comparison point for [[AliceInWonderland|《爱丽丝梦游仙境》]]. The episode says both works involve a childlike traveler, strange worlds, and episodic encounters, but it separates their emotional centers.
The source reads [[AliceWonderlandCharacter|Alice / 爱丽丝]] as more active, embodied, and life-oriented, while The Little Prince is framed as closer to adult projection, melancholy, return, and death-shadow. The comparison strengthens the wiki’s Female Self-Possession and Children’s Literature Complexity branches by showing that child protagonists can carry very different theories of agency.
Key Claims

- A children’s classic can feel philosophical without giving the same emotional instruction as another children’s classic.
- The episode values Alice’s practical vitality over a more elegiac child-as-adult-symbol mode.
