"Right Royal" by John Masefield is a narrative poem written in the early 20th century. The book centers around the theme of horse racing and explores the emotional turmoil and aspirations of a young man named Charles Cothill as he prepares to ride his horse, Right Royal, in a major race. The poem illustrates the deep bond between the rider and his steed, delving into themes of love, hope, and the fears associated with gambling and loss. The story unfolds as Charles and his beloved, Em, discuss the impending race, with Charles revealing his inner conflicts after wagering everything he owns on Right Royal's success. The narrative captures the atmosphere of the racecourse, the excitement of the event, and the characters surrounding it, including the other horses and riders. As the race progresses, Charles faces setbacks but ultimately finds a connection with Right Royal that fuels his determination to win. The climax builds as Right Royal and Sir Lopez, another horse, battle for the lead, culminating in a dramatic finish. In the end, Charles emerges victorious, not only winning the race but also securing his future with Em, highlighting the triumph of love and hope despite the uncertainties of life.
