I love Random Characters named after days of the week...

In Chesterton's The Man Who Was Thursday, the characters are wonderful. I love how ridiculously the "anarchists" are described. They have such distorted features and some seem almost freakish looking. The men have crazy habits, nervous jitters and most appear to be in constant state paranoia. The group lacks any notion of sanity, and agrees to crazy plans. At one point the plan to blow up an important official, just because. The men are constantly suspicious that one of the group is a spy, but in reality, they are all spies... I love the irony that Chesterton uses in his work. The "mastermind", Sunday, keeps things in a constant state of confusion, and quite seems to enjoy his game. One of the funniest parts of this story is the scene in which Thursday is being followed by Friday. Isn't Chesterton great? Friday is described as a feeble old man that everyone is expecting to die any day, yet he follows and then chases Thursday all over the city. I truly think that this was my favorite piece of literature from this semester.
