Summary "The King's Mirror" by Anthony Hope is a novel written in the late 19th century. This work contemporarily reflects themes of childhood, power, and the burdens of kingship through the eyes of its young protagonist, Augustin, who is set to become king. The story begins with his coronation day, setting the stage for his journey of self-discovery and the complexities of ruling a nation. At the start of the novel, the young Augustin reflects on his childhood, where he navigates the somber realities of losing family members and the expectations that come with his royal identity. As he recalls his coronation day, he grapples with the notions of authority and obedience, questioning what it truly means to be a king, especially in light of the strict upbringing administered by his mother and the governess, Krak. The opening develops a vivid picture of Augustin's innocence contrasted with his inevitable responsibilities, hinting at the deeper themes of personal conflict and the weight of leadership that will unfold as he matures.
