A historical novel originally written in the late 19th century. The book explores themes of social class and identity, focusing on the lives of two young boys—a prince and a pauper—who switch places and experience each other’s vastly different lifestyles. This narrative not only delves into the adventures that ensue from their roles but also provides critical commentary on societal norms and the human condition. In this section, Tom Canty, who is living as the king, faces the trials of his royal duties, including a public audience with foreign ambassadors and a tense dinner engagement, where every action is scrutinized. Despite his initial discomfort, he gradually grows into his role, feeling the weight of authority and compassion as he encounters individuals facing dire fates, including those accused of serious crimes. He shows an unexpected empathy for the condemned, ultimately deciding to spare them from harsh punishments based on their circumstances. This part reveals Tom's internal struggle: he longs to be free while grappling with the responsibilities of kingship and the moral complexities that accompany the power he wields.
