What Happens When You Wake Up in Someone Else's Life?
Two boys are born on the same autumn day in Tudor England. One arrives wrapped in silk while cannons fire in celebration. The other enters the world to silence, wrapped in rags nobody wanted to wash. Fast forward a decade: they meet at a palace gate, swap clothes on a whim, and discover they're identical twins separated not by blood but by an accident of birth. Before either can reverse the switch, the palace doors slam shut-trapping a pauper on a throne and casting a prince into the gutter. Mark Twain's 1882 novel wasn't just entertainment; it became a mirror held up to every society that mistakes privilege for merit. Tom Canty grows up in Offal Court, a rotting maze of alleys near London Bridge where survival means begging, stealing, or both. His father John staggers home drunk most nights, fists ready. His grandmother cackles and strikes without reason. Only his mother and twin sisters offer gentleness in a world built on cruelty. Then Father Andrew, an aging priest, teaches him to read. Suddenly, worlds open. Stories of kings and castles fill Tom's imagination. He begins organizing elaborate pretend courts in the alleys, playing prince while his friends bow and scrape. Meanwhile, Prince Edward Tudor lives behind golden bars in rooms Tom can barely imagine. Tutors drill him in Latin, French, and statecraft. Servants anticipate his every need. Yet Edward stares out windows at children splashing in puddles, racing through streets, living freely. His gilded rooms feel like a beautiful prison. The question it poses remains uncomfortably relevant: if we stripped away titles, clothes, and bank accounts, could anyone tell who deserves what?
