Did the little prince die in "The little Prince"? because i can't get it?

Answer 1

He goes to take care of his rose, but he can't take his body with him:

And he took me by the hand. But he was still worrying.
"It was wrong of you to come. You will suffer.
I SHALL LOOK AS IF I WERE DEAD, AND THAT WILL NOT BE TRUE . . ."
I said nothing.
"You understand . . . it is too far. I CANNOT CARRY THIS BODY WITH ME. It is too heavy."
I said nothing.
"But it will be like an old abandoned shell. There is nothing sad about old shells . . ."

So, to leave his body he must "die" but not die, just transcend and leave his mortal, human form:

"There was nothing but a flash of yellow close to his ankle. He remained motionless for an instant. He did not cry out. He fell as gently as a tree falls. There was not even any sound, because of the sand."

Then the narrator says:

"But I know that HE DID GO BACK to his planet, because I did not find his body at daybreak. It was not such a heavy body . . ."

And starts wondering if the lamb eat the rose, because he had not put a leather belt, to tie him.

I personally think he's very much alive, like the imagination is alive inside every grown up, it's just that it's not visible, but that doesn't mean it isn't there, and that's the hole point of the story.

I hope that clarifies your doubts... :)
