The Tragedy of Pudd'nhead Wilson
Sinossi
Mark Twain’s The Tragedy of Pudd’nhead Wilson is a 1894 novel set in a town along the Mississippi River. The story centers on two infants whose lives are altered by a secret cradle switch. One child is born into slavery, with 1/32 Black ancestry, while the other is white and free; through their upbringing, each grows to occupy the social role of the other. As the consequences unfold, the novel develops into a murder mystery that highlights how arbitrary racial categories can be and how moral compromises may lurk beneath the appearance of small-town respectability.
