๐ A True Classic, Deserving Its Reputation
Reading *The Prince and the Pauper*
๐ Title: The Prince and the Pauper
โ๏ธ Author: Mark Twain
๐ฏ Recommended For: Those who want to dive into a captivating classic novel, or anyone familiar with the story through films or childrenโs books who now want to experience the original text.
๐ One-line Review: A true classic that lives up to its nameโwith both gripping storytelling and a strong message.
โ๏ธ A Warm Book for a Warm Spring Day
This story is well known as a childrenโs tale and as the inspiration behind the Korean film Masquerade (Gwanghae).
However, it was my first time actually reading the original novel.
To put it simplyโit truly lives up to its reputation.
The story was engaging from the beginning, and the characters and plot developments were so compelling that I read it in one sitting.
It was a perfect book to read under the warm sunlight of May. The feelings and the sunlight were both warm.
๐ง An Intriguing Perspective on the Author
After finishing the book, I suddenly thought of rereading The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, whose contents I had forgotten from childhood.
Thatโs how much Mark Twainโs worldview left a strong impression on me.
In the latter part of the book, there was an interpretation of the author and the work.
His real name was Samuel Langhorne Clemens, born in a small town in Missouri, USA,
and he later received an honorary doctorate from Oxford University.
This dramatic contrast in social status may have influenced the theme of dual identity in The Prince and the Pauper.
Some even interpret his pen name, โMark Twain,โ as reflecting twinship or dual identity.
But in the end, only the author truly knows the meaning.
โCould that really be the reason?โ I wonderedโand it also made me curious: if I ever become famous, how would people interpret my life and writings? ๐
๐ค A Random Thought
In reading classic novels set in England, it seems like there are quite a few alcohol-soaked characters.
From Oliver Twist to A Christmas Carol, and now The Prince and the Pauperโฆ
Was that really such a common social reality in those days?
Or were these characters just exaggerated symbols in literature?
๐ In Conclusion
The Prince and the Pauper is more than just an entertaining story.
Itโs a work that makes you reflect on identity, social justice, and human dignity.
Even if you already know the story through films or childrenโs books,
there is a unique depth and emotional impact that only the original novel can offer.
This spring, if youโre looking for a classic that warms the heart, this is the one!
