In "The Little Prince" by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, when the little prince prepares to leave his planet, he puts a protective glass globe over his rose. However, the rose tells him that she no longer needs protection. This moment reflects her growth and development throughout the story.
Initially, the rose is depicted as somewhat vain and insecure, needing the little prince's attention and care to feel safe and valued. By the time he is ready to depart, she has come to realize her strength and independence. This acknowledgment suggests that she has gained confidence and understands that she is capable of surviving without his constant protection. It also highlights a deeper theme of love and responsibility: true love involves allowing those we care about to grow and thrive on their own. The rose's statement signifies her acceptance of her own value and the lessons she has learned during her time with the little prince.
