... sometimes tinselly, but his best poems sho hat rhetorical can be at it best. Of these are Lepanto 1911 and A Song of the heels ritten during the railay strike of 1911.If a prediction may be ventured, Chesterton ill be remembered longest by his poems and his ork in literary critics. Many ill regret that he tried his hand so little at playriting and spent so much time on polemical journalism. Nearly all ill deplore the volume of his output. None ill question the reality of his achievement at its highest, or the strength and purity of his influence. He died in Beaconsfield near London on June 14 in the year 1936. Plot synopsis The grotesque events are released by Lord Philip Ivyood, ho ants to close all inns in England. Patrick Dalroy, an Irishman, and his friend Humphrey Pump, ho has lost his inn, hich has been called The Flying Inn are the antagonists of Philip Ivyood. But before the house has been destroyed by subjects of the Lord, Dalroy and Pump are able to escape ith a keg of rum, a loaf of cheese and ith the old sign of the inn, hich is very important because you ill be alloed to sell alcohol if you have a sign. But Lord Ivyood is angry because these to men ill destroy his plans. So Dalroy and Pump ander around and sometimes they sell some rum . After a short time Dalroy buys a donkey and a cart. In the evening the to men reach an old tunnel under the land of the Lord. In this night the Lord, some of his subjects, the police and the to men go for each other. Dalroy and Pump can escape and Lord Ivyood is hurt badly by a round of shot from Pumps shotgun. No the Lord is very angry and so he tries to change the la about alcohol. Meanhile Pump and Dalroy rent a car hich belongs to Dorian impole and drive to a little ton called Ton of Peace. This village belongs to a very rich man, hose name is Dr. iesen, also a friend of Lord Ivyood. Although a ne la is created it is impossible to imprison the to men. No Dalroy finds out the secret of Krugs chemists shops. Krug is selling alcohol but only for the rich person like Mr. Levyson, Philip Ivyoods secretary. So the to men and a lot of other people from Pebbleick ...... I cant betray the end of this story because the story ill lose tension if I do so.Main Characters Lord Philip Ivyood He is the dark person of this story. His skin is very pale and he isnt really a very good looking man. He is also a very strange fan of the Islam. The Islam is against alcohol so it isnt surprising that the Lord ill close all inns in England. He is the most grotesque figure in this novel. He has a lot of subjects like his secretary Mr. Levyson, or his adviser Misysra Ammon, ho is a very fanatic Islamist and ho delivers a lot of speeches in the name of Lord Ivyood. Mr. Evyson and the journalist Hibbs Indessen are the right hand of the Lord, ho alays needs a lot of person for the confirmation for something he ants to do. So Ivyood isnt a man of his on decisions hich dont make him really to a person on a high social level. He never shos any kind of feelings, so the lord is a very cold person. Patrick Dalroy He is an Irishman and he has been in the army until he as offended by a general. So Dalroy does not like the English except his friend Pump and a young lady called Joan Brett. He is the hero of this story, because he is a very good looking young man. He is very tall and incredibly strong and hard. He never shos any feelings either, but he isnt such a cold and unscrupulous person like Lord Ivyood. He is a very clever man and he loves animals. Dalroy is the opponent of Lord Ivyood and so he is also the opposite in appearance and in character. He has fantastic red hair, hich looks like a fire, and strange blue eyes. He is in love ith Lady Joan Brett, but this oman is a member of Ivyoods harem. Sometimes he gets very angry and aggressive and then it is hard for him to keep a cool head.Humphry Pump He is the best friend a Dalroy and I think he is the only person ho can really understand Patrick. He is the oner of the inn, hich has been closed by the Lord. So he is a victim, like hundreds other, of the ne las and of the Islam. He does not really like the Islam but he doesnt hate it either. He isnt such a good looking guy like Dalroy and he isnt an Irishman, but he is a very fine and clever Englishman. He isnt in love ith somebody, he only loves his inn and the alcohol. But he isnt a man ho drink too much, so he alays has a cool head. Pump is a very interesting person in this story but it is very hard to understand the character of him. Although Pump isnt the hero, he as a very important figure of this novel.Jaon Brett She is the female main character. She has a good looking and she is the contact beteen Lord Ivyood and Patrick Dalroy. So you can say that Lady Brett is a kind of pivot in this novel because the story begin ith her and end ith her. She doesnt really like the Islam, but she has begun to hate the Islam since she has understood that she is living in a harem.Interpretation Chesterton is ell knon for his critics so it is not surprising that this novel is a political satire on the one side and a burlesque on the other. This story is one of lots fantasy novels, hich express, on an outrly ay, Chestertons opinion about the political, social and religious developments in the beginning of the 20th century. The book has been published in a time, as a very itty discussion beteen Chesterton and his friend Hilaire Belloc about the Progressives cause a stir. Like everytime Chesterton use every opportunity to let out his displeasure about a very restless time, hich destroy and smash the tradition and hich pay tribute to a dangerous individualism. Hoever he does this mainly ith a humorous and optimistic tone. But this novel hich as called sociological political allegory is depressed by Chestertons inclinations to overemphasise and to exaggerate his stories. The novel The Flying Inn is mainly about the Islam and it is also about ne things like cars. There is Lord called Philip Ivyood ho ants to close all inns because he is a fanatic Islamist. But the story shos that the Lord is a very eak person and that he is not able to administer his land. He alays need advisers for a confirmation. So I think this is one of the first problems in this novel. An other, I think this is the most important theme, is the problem ith the right religion. Lord Ivyood is obsessed by the opinion to convert the hole England to the Islam. He has a lot of subjects and each of them are obsessed too. Misysra Ammon is one of the best friends of the Lord, but it is not surprising if you kno that he is a preacher of the Islam and that he is mainly the adviser of Philip Ivyood. It looks like that Ammon is influencing Lord Ivyood because Philip is an Englishman and I don not believe that an English can have such ideas. On the other side there is Patrick Dalroy and his friend Humphry Pump ho fight a battle against the Lord and his las. This fight is hardly to in but Dalroy and Pump have on t...
