Fracassus is a spoilt brat brought up as Prince and heir apparent, despite being the younger son. His knowledge and use of language is limited, his actions designed to provoke rather than inspire. His words for women are unrepeatable and his disdain apparent. He has no use for formal academic education, as his parents feel this may corrupt his vast intellect. Living in the highest tower behind gilded golden gates he looks down on the ordinary folk in the pig sty.
Fracassus is in his late teens before he leaves the country. There he meets Spravchick, who has a benevolent authoritarian approach to his people as well as an interest in wrestling. He makes an indelible impression on the young Fracassus who sees his strength as something to admire and his vacillating treatment of indigenous people, first as artisans then as foreigners, as something to emulate.
The young radical that he meets back home, also makes an impression due to his oratory, not for its content but the influence it has over the people. This leads to a job in reality TV called Stopit! A bit like Jerry Springer, getting people to admit to their wrongdoing and then telling them to stopit!
The ending suggests that people woke up and saw who Fracassus really was, but then the wind changed. ( )
