The story is set in England between 1910 and 1920 and is set mainly in Easeby, on the estate of Bertie's uncle. Bertie is a rich, spoiled young man who lives off his uncle's money and goes out and gets drunk with his friends every night and is controlled by his future wife Florence. Bertie gets a replacement butler named Jeeves who knows what is best for Bertie. Bertie tries his best not to end up like his friend and let his butler take control of him but in the end he fails, after Jeeves saved him many times and since he is smarter than Bertie, Bertie ends up letting Jeeves take control of him. PG Wodehouse took into account the eras that were happening in England when he was sent there and used them in his stories, changing them only slightly. Wodehouse was born on 15 October 1881 in Hong Kong, where his father was stationed as a member of the British Civil Service. Wodehouse and his older brother were sent to England for school. In 1884 he attended Elizabeth College and Malvern House. When he turned 12 he went to Dulwich College which was the most important educational experience of his life (LaBlanca 166). Wodehouse is always... middle of the road... and, he is wiser, smarter and very independent when it comes to himself. Those two characters can teach you a lot about life and how important it is to ask for help even if you don't want it because you never know what disaster could have been around the corner waiting for you if you hadn't taken it when it arrived. was giving.Works CitedAkers, Don. “Overview of 'Jeeves Takes Charge'.” Short stories for students.
