Prisoner of zenda - an important lesson and reasons why it is important.

One important lesson I learnt from the main character , Rudolf Rassendyll , is to be brave in order to carry out our duties.

In Rudolf Rassendyll's case, because of his bravery , he was able to save the king even though it was very risky to do so especially because the traitor was the King's brother, Duke Michael. Duke Michael was a very powerful person in Ruritania and he had 6 villains working under him to do his dirty work. If he was not brave enough, he would not be able to enter the castle and save the King. In order to save the King , he had to fight and killed all the famous six except Rudolf of Hentzau who managed to escape.

After he agreed to save the King, he encountered many life-threatening experiences which nearly killed him. At one instance, at the summer house where he had entered alone after receiving the letter from Antoinette De Mauban, he was attacked by three of the famous six. They were Detchard, De Gautet and Bersonin. If he was not brave, he would not have gone there . However he was brave enough to go there and he succeeded in getting some information that would help him save the King.

So, being very brave is important to enable Rudolf Rassendyll to fulfill his promise to Colonel Sapt which is to save the king.
