The table of the days

This is a table of the main characters of The Man Who Was Thursday and some of their character traits. I had a hard time keeping certain elements of them straight, and I thought this might be helpful to others as well. Below, I'll have a paragraph with their final questions for Sunday as well.

If you're joining us for Corporate Cancer and have not read this book, I'd advise you to skip this table. It has something in the nature of spoilers, and I don't want to spoil this book. I would advise you, though, to read it and come back later. It is a truly excellent novel.

Day	Apparent identity	Appearance	Day of Creation	Assessment of Sunday	Costume
Monday	Secretary of Anarchist Council	Twisted smile	Creation of light	Grotesque, monstrously strong, half-formed	Black with a vertical stripe of white
Tuesday	Gogol, a Pole	Wild, bushy hair & beard	Division of waters above & below	Can't even be thought about	Gray and silver, falling like a sheet of rain
Wednesday	Marquis de St. Eustace	Rich, dark, foreign	Division of water from land	Wicked & absent-minded	Green, with tangled trees
Thursday	???	???	Creation of sun, moon & stars	Two-faced, terrifying from behind, godlike from the front	Peacock-blue with sun, moon & stars
Friday	Professor de Worms	Paralytic old man near death	Creation of fishes and birds	Inducing supreme, near-solipsistic skepticism	Dim purple with fishes and tropical birds
Saturday	Dr. Bull	Healthy young man with colored glasses concealing his eyes	Creation of land animals and man	Massive and light at the same time, strength and levity	A coat with heraldic animals and a man
Sunday	President of Anarchist Council	Built on a super-human scale in all proportions (a bit like Chesterton himself 6'4" and quite round)	Rest, completion	Beyond the comprehension of the others (somewhat like Tuesday's assessment)	Pure and terrible white

Monday, the Secretary, holds against him his playing both parts. He can forgive God all manner of cruelties, but cannot forgive his rest and peace. Tuesday, Gogol, only wants to know why he was hurt so much. Wednesday, the Marquis (who is the only of the group to have a second name revealed), says the whole thing seems merely silly. Thursday, our protagonist, was grateful for the adventure and challenge, but wants answers. Friday, the crippled professor, says he does not understand, and fell a little too close to Hell. Saturday, Dr. Bull, says he understands nothing, but is content, and rests. Sunday, we note, is God's rest.

There is far more philosophical depth here than I can plumb right now. And please, if you have not read the book already, do not go into it with this as a guidebook. That would ruin the experience of reading it for the first time. As Wordsworth said, "We murder to dissect." Reading the book this way from the start would be a literary crime. I'll have my thoughts on the final chapter in the comments on that chapter sometime soon.
