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.

The doctor and Josef ,the servant are very brave and loyal to the King. They try to protect the king and sacrifice their lives in doing so. Rudolf Rassendyll is also very loyal to his duty. He initiates rescue plans to save the King even though he is in love with Princess Flavia and wants her for himself.
Col. Sapt and Fritz are also very loyal. They perform their duty with utmost devotion and obedience. They take full responsibility to protect the King’s throne.
This novel also taught us to be brave and confident. Rudolf Rassendyll is very brave and confident of himself. He is very bold to impersonate the King. He is also very brave to go after Rupert of Hentzau even though he is badly hurt.
I also learn that honour must come first in any situation. Princess Flavia puts honour before love. Even though she loves Rudolf Rassendyll very much , she is willing to sacrifice her love . She is a very loyal and honourable person .
2. Write about one of the themes in the novel that you have read.
Write about a moral value you can find in the novel.
One of the themes / moral values that we can find in the novel “Prisoner of Zenda” is bravery. Rudolf Rassendyll is a very brave and courageous person. He is very bold to impersonate the King. He is also very brave to go after Rupert of Hentzau even though he is badly hurt. During the coronation procession, he commands his guards to ride fifty yards ahead of him . He dares to ride alone even though he knows that it is very dangerous for him to do so.
Princess Flavia shows a different kind of bravery. She is emotionally brave. She is willing to sacrifice her love even though she loves Rudolf Rassendyll very much.
Josef and the doctor are not soldiers but they sacrifice their lives to protect the King and do not run away when there are dangers.
3. Explain why you find the novel interesting.
The novel “Prisoner of Zenda” is very interesting because it is full of adventures and I am happy to see that good triumphs over evil in the end. There is a lot of suspense as Duke Michael schemes to dethrone King Rudolf . I find his “Famous Six” bodyguards quite intimidating. They represent everything that is cruel, wicked, evil and made remarkable villains in the story.
I admire Princess Flavia for choosing duty and honour over love. It must be a very painful experience to give up the person she loves but she has done what is right and honourable. The real King needs her to help him rule Ruritania.
I find the exchange of the gift of a single red rose once a year a symbol of real love. It is a very touching and poignant moment in the story and it reminds us that true love needs sacrifices.
4 Write about a character that you dislike.
In the novel “The Prisoner of Zenda” , a character that I dislike the most is Duke of Michael. He is a very cruel person who has a secret ambition to usurp the throne and make himself the King of Ruritania.
He is merciless and ruthless towards anyone who gets in his way. He orders Rudolf to be killed. He is a devious schemer who is treacherous even to his own brother. He keeps his brother as a prisoner at Castle of Zenda.
He is also unfaithful in love, as evidenced by his courting of Antoinette de Mauban while planning to get Princess Flavia to marry him. He was extremely jealous of his brother, the King, who was betrothed to the beautiful Princess Flavia.
He is a coward and bully who hid behind his bodyguards , the Famous Six, to protect him as well as to carry out his ruthless plans.
