Well, After All

Beschreibung

In "Well, After All" by F. Frankfort Moore, the plot revolves around a financial crisis at a bank, where the characters face a state of panic and must navigate the social dynamics during an intense and uncertain time. As the bank collapses, the characters react in contrasting ways, highlighting the emotional differences between genders. Women are portrayed as more straightforward and instinctual in their reactions, while men try to maintain an appearance of calm and composure. This division sets the stage for a deeper exploration of personal struggles and how societal pressures influence behavior during times of crisis. Through the unfolding chaos, the novel touches on themes of loyalty, love, and the burdens individuals carry when faced with societal expectations. The characters must confront their own emotions, whether it's managing a collapsing institution or dealing with personal relationships that are tested under strain. The financial crisis serves as a backdrop for examining how people respond to overwhelming situations, uncovering complex emotional layers in the face of adversity.

Autor

Frank Frankfort Moore (1855-1931) was an Irish novelist, playwright, and poet. He was a unionist and a Protestant from Belfast, yet his historical fiction during the Home Rule agitation did not shy away from themes of Irish-Catholic dispossession. Moore was born in Limerick but raised in Belfast, where he recalls seeing dragoons, sabres drawn, rushing sectarian riots in the street below his nursery window as his earliest recollection. Moore's father was a successful clockmaker and goldsmith, and the family was well-educated (French and German were both spoken). The elder Moore, however, as a member of the ultra-puritan Open Brethren group, wanted to limit his children's reading to religious and didactic publications. Michael Paget Baxter, the evangelist who recognized Emperor Napoleon III as the Beast in the Book of Revelation, was a frequent visitor. Moore attended the Royal Belfast Academical Institution, where he swiftly learned to reject his father's ideas. He remembered the spread of certain slanderous lyrics titled "Mr. Baxter and The Beast," which "proved" that Baxter himself was the Antichrist. Moore praised Irish scientist John Tyndall's statement of scientific materialism at a British Science Association conference in Belfast in 1874, mocking the angry reaction of local Presbyterian ministers.
