"The Prince and the Pauper, Part 3." by Mark Twain is a historical novel written during the late 19th century. It explores themes of social class, identity, and justice through the story of two boys—one a pauper and the other a prince—who exchange places. The narrative offers insights into the complexities of Tudor England while engaging readers in a tale of adventure and moral lessons. In this part of the book, readers witness the turmoil surrounding the ailing King Henry VIII and his desire for revenge against the Duke of Norfolk, juxtaposed with the experiences of Tom Canty, the pauper who has taken on the role of the prince. As Tom partakes in royal festivities, he finds himself celebrated at a lavish river pageant, while the true Prince Edward faces hardships in the grim environment of the Canty household. Amidst a backdrop of revelry and societal injustice, the story escalates as the prince attempts to reclaim his identity, leading to significant decisions about mercy and leadership when he unexpectedly becomes king. The moral complexity of friendship, loyalty, and the stark contrasts of wealth are central to the unfolding drama. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
