"The King Who Went on Strike" by Pearson Choate is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a young King, recently crowned, who grapples with the burdens of his royal duties, his isolation, and his yearning for personal freedom. Set against the backdrop of a celebratory Coronation, the narrative delves into the internal struggles of the King as he navigates his newly assigned role, the expectations of his people, and personal relationships, particularly with a woman named Judith. The beginning of the novel introduces the King as he stands alone on the rooftop of Buckingham Palace, reflecting on the Coronation day's events that felt surreal and overwhelming. Although celebrated by the public, he is filled with a sense of weariness and conflict, longing for an escape from his responsibilities. The narrative unfolds further as he decides to seek out Judith, a woman from his past who brings him comfort and joy, illustrating his internal conflict between duty and the desire for human connection. The opening sets the stage for exploring themes of duty, identity, and the struggle for personal happiness amid the confines of royal expectations.
