Jemmy is tough, uncomplaining, and strong, as a result of his harsh childhood and years of having to fend for himself. He doesn't cry or flinch when spanked, and he shows courage in even the direst situations. He has many friends from his rat-catching days. As a result of his time spent in the castle, he has learned to read and write well. The prince, on the other hand, has been spoiled since birth, and he has never had to take any responsibility for himself. The prince is willful and defiant. He has been granted his every whim as the son of the king, and so he is known for being spoiled, mean-spirited, and selfish. He doesn't have any friends, until Jemmy, because of his selfish ways, and he has little knowledge of how the world works beyond the castle walls. He is also completely illiterate, because he has refused to learn anything from his tutor.
