The Prisoner of Zenda by Anthony Hope Hawkins.

comment and conclusion


Based on the novel that I have read, The Prisoner of Zenda by Anthony Hope Hawkins, one of the moral values that I can point out from this novel is responsibility. All the characters in this novel seem to be responsible over something.

The main character, Rudolf Rassendyll has a lot of responsibilities. He has to look for a job to make his brother and sister in law happy. He also puts his life in danger to save King Rudolf the Fifth because he thinks that it is his responsibility which he had nothing to do with in the first place.

Princess Flavia is also a good example. She is responsible foe her country. She has to rule Riritania alongside with King Rudolf the Fifth which makes her to put her sacred love for Rudolf Rassendyll aside. This shows that Princess Flavia puts her responsibility before her love life.

Colonel Sapt and Fritz are also very responsible. Everyday they think of new ways and strategies to save king. They know that it is their responsibility to do so. All of the reasons above make me think that responsibility is something that all of us must have because there is no doubt that it is very important.
