The Prince and the Pauper – Chapter Five – Current Event

SUDDEN MEMORY LOSS
In the chapter, Henry and other members of his staff test “Edward” (actually Tom) to see what he can and cannot remember.

Henry comes to the conclusion that it is due to overstudying, and that “Edward” needs to take a break from school in order to destress and regain his memory. Obviously we as readers know that it is not actually Edward experiencing memory loss, but actually an entirely different person.

Would a scenario like this be possible in real life? Keep reading or watch the video below to see what I found out.
