Clovis Sangrail is a character featured in three
of the Saki short stories covered this semester.

required an antithetical character that could
serve as a vehicle for Sakis own actions to be
carried out in the stories. A subtle annoyance and
dislike for high-soc...

fully understand the situation, the viewer,

Brian. Another prime example of Brian's romantic
ineptness comes when he and Rayanne are forced to
