Summary "My Lady Greensleeves" by Frederik Pohl is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The narrative unfolds in a dystopian future characterized by social stratification into rigid categories of professional and labor classes, exploring themes of inequality and rebellion. The central focus of the book is a prison riot at the Estates-General Correctional Institution, known colloquially as the Jug, where the inmates rise against both their harsh conditions and societal norms that dictate their worth based on class. The story follows Captain Liam O'Leary, a guard at the prison, who senses an impending riot led by inmates Sauer and Flock, the latter having taken a medic hostage after sustaining an injury. As chaos ensues in Block O, the disciplinary unit, some inmates try to rise above their societal labels while others indulge in violence and confusion. Key character Sue-Ann Bradley, a prisoner fighting against the category system, becomes intertwined in the riot, challenging the underlying beliefs of her fellow inmates. As the prison erupts into disorder, the narrative explores themes of identity, class struggle, and the consequences of a deeply segregated society, culminating in a confrontation with the governor who seeks to maintain control over the situation. Through its layered characters and dynamics, the book serves as a social commentary on the dangers of categorization and the humanity shared by all individuals, despite their societal roles.
