520			_a"Mr. Prohack" by Arnold Bennett is a novel written during the early 20th century. It follows the life of Arthur Charles Prohack, a middle-class civil servant in London, as he navigates the challenges of post-war life, particularly the financial strains that affect his family. Through Mr. Prohack's character, Bennett explores themes of class, economic pressures, and the complexities of family dynamics within the backdrop of a changing society. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Mr. Prohack as he enacts his familiar morning routine, revealing his habitual nature and his somewhat ambivalent position as a government official at the Treasury. As he enjoys his breakfast quietly, his interaction with his wife, Eve, begins to uncover the stresses within their household concerning household finances. This opening portion showcases their witty banter, shedding light on their familial relationships, particularly the growing pressure they face as the "new poor." Throughout their conversation, Mr. Prohack's awareness of the wider social issues, coupled with his ironic humor, lays the groundwork for a story rich in social commentary, reflecting the struggles of the middle class grappling with identity and purpose in the wake of the war.
