| Summary | "The Prince and the Pauper, Part 4" by Mark Twain is a historical novel written during the late 19th century. The narrative centers around the intertwining lives of two boys—Tom Canty, a pauper, and Edward, the Prince of Wales—who magically switch places. This story explores themes of social class, identity, and the essence of royalty. In this section of the book, we witness the unfolding of events as Miles Hendon, a kind-hearted nobleman, protects the small prince from his abusive father, John Canty. As they navigate through the streets of London, the boys face the realities of their respective lives—one as a sought-after king and the other as a homeless child. Notably, the prince, now in a confused state, believes he is still the Prince of Wales despite the recent proclamation of his father, King Edward VI's death. In his dreams, Tom Canty, who has now become king, struggles with the burdens of royalty, facing the absurdities of court life and the suffocating expectations imposed upon him. Meanwhile, Miles Hendon's loyalty to the young prince grows as he vows to protect him and savour the adventures that await them, hinting at the deeper bond they are forging amid chaos.
