Profundity scale technique
A. Physical Level

The Prince and the Pauper is a story about two boys in 16 th
century England who were born on the same day and look
identical, but are not related to each other. One named Edward
Tudor is a prince, and the other named Tom Canty, is a pauper.
Tom sneaked in the palace garden and meets the prince. They
changed clothes with each other and the guards discover them
and throw out the prince, since they are identical. Nobody
believes them when they try to tell the truth. Soon after, the old
king dies and the prince will inherit the throne. The evil earl of
Hertford attempts to murder the prince to gain power himself.
B. Mental/ intellectual
level
The pauper exchanged clothes with the prince because he
wants to know what it feels like to be a prince, to be rich and
famous and to be loved by people. The prince exchanged clothes
with the pauper because he wants to know what it feels like to
be free.
C. moral/ethical level
It is wrong for the prince and the pauper to exchange with
each other because they need to learn how to love their selves.

They shouldn’t exchange even though they want to have what
the other has. Even though it is fun to exchange and experience
what each other do, they still shouldn’t exchange because they
would regret it because that’s not how they grew up. All they
know is the positive things.
d. Psychological/
emotional level
The prince felt anger, regret and sadness because he
thought that Tom was enjoying his life as a prince. He felt regret
because John Canty and the grandmother of Tom beat him and
he didn’t know before that being Tom was har d because he gets
beaten by his father and grandmother.
E.
universal/philosophical
sophical
level

Theme
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.
Lesson Learned
We can learn that we don't need to be choosy on what we
have. We must be happy on what we are or what we have in life.
Universality of the story
I learned that we need to accept what we have. We should
not be ashamed of what we have. We should not be ashamed of
ourselves because this is us we don’t need to change ourselves
to be accepted. Just be our true selves. We also need to learn
how to love our self.
