The Man Who Was Thursday question

Been a while since I read it. Weird eh? At the time apparently a lot of bomb throwing anarchists about and seances also I guess.

I actually read it twice, the first time was confusing. But the second time it began to make sense because you realize it is a dream but also a crazy mixed up world but it draws you into the action going on, how he is running away but keeps being followed until he finally confronts his pursuer and then suddenly everyone is being taken for a fantastic ride. Give it another try and just let your serious side go!

It was all a dream, that was it all. The subtitle of the book itself is "A nightmare". So it doesn't have to make any sense. The last part says everyone is on the same team except Lucian Gregory the real anarchist and why this is so.

Here is a paragraph from the last page:

Why does each thing on the earth war against each other thing? Why does each small thing in the world have to fight against the world itself? Why does a fly have to fight the whole universe? Why does a dandelion have to fight the whole universe? For the same reason that I had to be alone in the dreadful Council of the Days. So that each thing that obeys law may have the glory and isolation of the anarchist. So that each man fighting for order may be as brave and good a man as the dynamiter. So that the real lie of Satan may be flung back in the face of this blasphemer, so that by tears and torture we may earn the right to say to this man, 'You lie!' No agonies can be too great to buy the right to say to this accuser, 'We also have suffered.'

Silly book. Defuses conspiracy theories falsely.
