Roles in the film[]
The King and I[]
Tuptim is a beautiful teenage girl and a servant given to King Mongkut as a gift from her father, the Burmese Emissary. She yearns for knowledge and stuns Mongkut's court when she boldly tells them she can read, which books are commonly prohibited and forbidden to servants. She is befriended by Tusker, a baby elephant who loves and protects her from the villainous Kralahome and the bumbling henchman, Master Little.
Anna immediately recognizes that Tuptim has a fire and spirit that cannot be broken and also discovers that she has fallen in love with Prince Chulalongkorn and that he has fallen in love with her.
If King Mongkut finds out, she would be sent back to Burma in disgrace and most likely to be killed and whipped until her death. However, their secret is exposed by Master Little, but she and Chulalongkorn save the King from the Kralahome.
In the end, The King of Siam gives her freedom and gives his blessing to marry his son.
