The Emperor’s New Clothes Summary in English

Scene – 1:

When the play begins we see the Emperor coming out of his dressing room in an angry mood. He scolds his Chief Adviser for bringing him useless clothes. He says that not even one of the suits is worthy of an Emperor. The Chief Adviser replies that they were the best clothes he could get for the Emperor on that day. The Emperor thinks that his entire kingdom is full of worthless tailors. He orders the Chief Adviser to banish them all. He tells the Chief Adviser to find a good tailor who can stitch a different set of clothes every day.

The Chief Adviser tells the Emperor that two weavers had been waiting to see him since the previous day. The Emperor does not want to meet them. He wants good tailors and not weavers. The Chief Adviser says that the weavers had told him that they had found a secret way of making cloth from the finest silk and stitch clothes from that cloth. And that they claim to be magic tailors. The Emperor orders the Chief Adviser to bring them in immediately.

The two weavers come in and bow to the Emperor. He welcomes them and asks them to show him those beautiful clothes. They tell the Emperor that they do not have new clothes, but, they have come to explain that they had discovered a magic way of making the most beautiful silk cloth. They say only an Emperor like him can wear such clothes with rich colours and attractive patterns. The first weaver tells the Emperor that they need a large quantity of finest silk and the purest gold thread.

The second weaver says they need jewels also to sew them on the new clothes. The Emperor agrees and says that the Chief Adviser will provide all the necessary things. He asks them to stay in the palace until they complete their work. He says he would wear new clothes in the procession two days later. The first weaver informs the Emperor that if he wears a suit made out of such cloth, only wise men can see what he is wearing and not the fools.

The second weaver says, by wearing those clothes he can judge his subordinates. Because only those who are clever and wise and fit for their job will see what the Emperor is wearing and the foolish and unfit will not see anything. The gullible Emperor believes them and thinks that he can find out who is fit and who is unfit.

Scene – II:

The next day, in the evening, the Chief Adviser comes in to see how the work is progressing. The two weavers have put away the fine silk, gold thread and the jewels given to them. They are seen working on the looms pretending to weave. The Chief Adviser does not see any cloth on the looms. The first weaver invites him. The second one points to the loom and asks him if he liked the pattern of circles and lines on the cloth. The Chief Adviser is completely puzzled, but he agrees with the weavers.

The first weaver asks him how he feels about the dark red and sky blue colours on the gold background. The Chief Adviser gets more confused and replies that the Emperor will like the colours very much. The weavers say that they need some more silk, gold thread and jewels. The Chief Adviser recalls what the weavers had said, ‘Only wise men can see the clothes that we make, the foolish and unfit cannot see them”. He wonders if he is a fool and unfit for his job. He decides to send his Special Assistant to see what is going on there. After the Chief Adviser leaves, the weavers dance around to celebrate the success of their trick.

Scene – III:

The Special Assistant comes the next evening and is surprised to find no cloth on the looms. He tells the weavers that he does not see any cloth. The weavers say that their work will please him also, as it had pleased the Chief Adviser. The weavers repeat what they had told the Chief Adviser. They assure him that His Majesty’s clothes will be ready the next morning. The Special Assistant gets confused. He also thinks that he is a fool and unfit for his job, and decides to keep the secret to himself.

Scene – IV:

The next morning the Emperor enters the court hall followed by his Chief Adviser, Special Assistant, and other courtiers. The two weavers are also there. The first weaver comes forward as if he is holding some clothes, which are actually not there. He says ‘Here are your coat and trousers, Majesty’. The Emperor nods his head. The second weaver also pretends to be carrying invisible clothes and offers it to the Emperor. He again nods his head. The weavers request the Emperor to come into the dressing room so that they can help him wear the new clothes.

The Emperor goes into the dressing room. The weaver pretends to dress him in the new clothes. The Emperor comes out almost naked thinking that he is wearing wonderful magic clothes. The courtiers are surprised to see the Emperor almost naked. But, they remain silent remembering the weavers’ words. The Emperor goes to the balcony. The people, who were cheering till then, suddenly become silent. A little child starts laughing- aloud. It tells its father that the Emperor has no clothes on at all. It asks him if the Emperor has become so poor that he has no money to buy clothes.
