"The Prince and the Pauper, Part 4" by Mark Twain is a historical tale where two boys, a poor child named Tom Canty and Edward, the Prince of Wales, find their lives swapped in an unexpected turn of events. Exploring themes of social class, identity, and what it truly means to be royal, the story follows them as they navigate each other's worlds. As Miles Hendon, a noble and caring man, shields the young, lost prince from danger, the boys confront the harsh truths of their new lives in London, while Tom, now king, struggles with the overwhelming responsibilities and pressures of royalty, finding the role absurd. All the while, Miles Hendon will protect the prince from his father, and with each act of bravery, their bond strengthens amidst the disorder.
