Prior to meeting each other, both boys have dreams of living the life of the other. ![]() ![]() Foremost is the basic idea of the exchange of roles and lines between the prince and the pauper and the constant reference to their twin fates. The Prince and the Pauper, seemingly a simple novel, handles several divergent themes and ideas simultaneously. ![]() |
