    The Prince and the Pauper
    Summary
    • This is a story about two boys, Tom and
    Edward, who live in London. Tom is born into a
    poor family where he is beaten by his father
    and grandmother, while Edward is the Prince
    of Wales and successor to King Henry. One
    day, Tom wanders near the palace and Edward
    invites him in. The two boys decide to switch
    places and after they change clothes, Edward,
    as Tom, is thrown out of the palace, while
    Tom, as Edward, stays in the palace.
    • Both boys have a hard time adjusting to their
    new lives, as Edward realizes that he has no
    power and gets beaten and Tom realizes that
    he’s trapped in being a prince and that
    everyone thinks he lost his mind. Tom
    awkwardly makes his way through a royal meal
    and encounter with the king, who is looking for
    the Great Seal. Edward is dragged to Tom’s
    home by Tom’s father, where Edward sleeps for
    the night. The following day, Tom’s father runs
    into town to escape persecution for beating a
    man and Edward runs away in the street crowd.

    dancing and food. However, King Henry
    suddenly dies and Tom is made king,
    proclaiming that he will not rule in blood.
    Edward tries to enter the dinner, but is turned
    away by the crowd. A man named Miles
    Hendon befriends Edward and takes him back
    to his place to rest. After Miles and Edward
    share their stories, Miles plays along with
    Edward that he is, in fact, the king and serves
    him while he eats

    anything he wish, which Miles requests that
    he and his heirs always be under the
    protection of the king. Tom, as king, befriends
    a whipping boy and frees three people who
    are wrongfully accused of crimes. Edward
    wanders into the company of vagabonds for
    the night, where they share stories of their
    past and when Edward commands respect
    because he is the king, the group of men mock

    • However, when Miles arrives at the estate, he
    is accused of being an imposter because the
    family believes that Miles died. Because no
    one seems to know Miles, Miles and Edward
    are taken to jail, where Edward gets to know
    the other prisoners. In jail, an old man
    recognizes Miles, and Miles sacrifices himself
    to take a whipping for Edward. When Miles
    and Edward are eventually released, they
    travel to Westminster to confront Tom at the
    royal coronation ceremony.

    • Tom enjoys the coronation as he is adored by
    the people, but as the ceremony continues, he
    becomes bored and saddened that he’s not
    really the king. Edward then appears and claims
    to be the real king, but everyone thinks he’s
    lying. Tom then tells the officials that it’s true
    and the only way to prove that it’s true and the
    only way to prove it is for Edward to tell them
    where the Great Deal is located. At first Edward
    can’t remember, but he eventually remembers
    and is made king. In the end, King Edward
    protects Tom and Miles and those he met in the
    jails, ruling for only a short time until his death.
    Theme of the novel
    "The prince and the pauper is one of twain's
    most tightly plotted novels... the Two main
    characters in The prince and the pauper are,
    of course, Tom canty and Edward Tudor.
    Because these two boys are the main
    characters, they also carry the main burden of
    advancing both the theme and the plot."
