| Summary |
"Right Ho, Jeeves" by P. G. Wodehouse is a comedic novel written in the early 20th century, specifically during the 1920s. The story revolves around the misadventures of the hapless protagonist, Bertram Wooster, and his remarkably clever valet, Jeeves, as they navigate the complexities of love and social expectations among their upper-class acquaintances. The opening portion of the novel introduces the reader to Wooster’s unique narrative style, characterized by humor and self-awareness. He initially reflects on the challenges of storytelling before jumping into a convoluted situation involving his friend Gussie Fink-Nottle, who has come to London unexpectedly for a romantic pursuit. Wooster outlines his recent trip to Cannes with his Aunt Dahlia and cousin Angela, setting the stage for a series of comedic entanglements. He learns that Gussie, known for his shyness and obsession with newts, is in love with Madeline Bassett, a girl from Cannes, and that he has engaged Jeeves to help him win her over, a scenario that promises to spiral into humorous chaos as the narrative unfolds.
