The Prisoner of Zenda: Character

Describe the hardship faced by the main character .

Add more details, evidences to the given answer below...

This is a story of mistaken identity. The protagonist Rassendyll is the red-headed sosie of the king of Ruritania (an imaginary Central-Eastern European country) and finds himself in the predicament of occupying the throne and playing the role of 'king' until the real king who has been kidnapped can be restored. To complicate matters, along with the throne there is also a queen. The protagonist falls in love with her (what else?), but by duty and allegience he relinquishes his false 'right' to her and to the kingdom to the true king, finally discovered and released from captivity.

The conflict levels in this cloak-and-dagger story are of course man versus man, but on a psychological level man versus himself, and this part of the story is the most intriguing.
