What is the author's style in Jeeves Takes Charge by P. G. Wodehouse?

Wodehouse is recognized as one of England's great light satirists of the twentieth century. The "Jeeves and Wooster" stories delicately tweaked the wealthy lords and ladies of Great Britain and their society. The plot of "Jeeves Takes Charge" revolves around the memoirs of Sir Willoughby, Bertie Wooster's rich uncle. The various vignettes in the manuscript ("Recollections of a Long Life") detail embarrassing moments in the youths of several prominent Englishmen.

Bertie Wooster is the narrator of "Jeeves Takes Charge." Although Bertie often seems clueless, much of the flavor of this story, as in all the "Jeeves and Wooster" stories, is derived from his narration. Wodehouse uses a variety of devices to make Bertie an amusing narrator: slang, exaggeration and understatement, mixed metaphor, and literary refererence. Bertie is a fool, but through his narration Wodehouse demonstrates that he is an endearing and likable fool because of his innate modesty and eagerness to please.
