"The Prince and the Pauper, Part 6" by Mark Twain is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story revolves around two young boys, a prince and a pauper, who accidentally switch places, leading to a series of adventures that explore themes of social class, identity, and the nature of authority. This segment of the novel particularly focuses on the experiences of the prince as he encounters the hardships faced by the lower classes. In this part of the book, the prince, believing he is just a common boy, is thrust into the rough world of vagabonds. He experiences cold, hunger, and the harsh realities of life outside the palace walls. While mingling with the tramps, the prince has to navigate their rough lifestyle, which includes begging and thievery. The narrative builds tension as the prince's innocence clashes with the brutality surrounding him. He finds temporary refuge in a farmhouse but ultimately faces mistreatment. The chapter culminates with him escaping a dangerous situation with a hermit, only to be later captured by his former captors. Throughout this journey, Twain emphasizes the stark contrast between the lives of the rich and the poor, providing thoughtful commentary on the arbitrary nature of social status and identity.
