Comedy
A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court
Read it in the Library After Dark Or read it as plain textA nineteenth-century man wakes up in Camelot and immediately starts trying to industrialise it, with results that are funnier and considerably darker than the premise suggests. Twain meant it as satire of romantic nostalgia for a past that was never actually pleasant to live in. It ends far bleaker than the joke that opened it, on purpose.
