 CliffsNotes::The Prince and the Pauper:Book Summary and Study Guide
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.
Likewise, the young prince is confined to his royal apartments and has little or no freedom—that is, he does not have the freedom that he believes a commoner has.
Another basic idea is, of course, Twain’s satiric expose of the concept that “clothes make the man”;: when the two lads exchange clothes, the prince immediately becomes the pauper and is thus treated like a pauper and, likewise, the pauper is treated like a prince merely because he is dressed in royal robes.
