A butler is a senior domestic worker in a large household, typically male, who oversees the dining room, wine cellar, and pantry. In some households, their responsibilities extend to managing male servants and the overall upkeep of the parlour floor. Traditionally, butlers held a higher status and were better compensated than female servants, with the role sometimes encompassing chauffeur duties. They are the head of the staff and are responsible for the quality of the service provided.
In 1915, Arthur Inch, a retired butler, was born. He described starting his career as a hall boy, highlighting a traditional path of progression within the service industry.
In 1985, Mark Stock began "The Butler's in Love" series to express feelings of unrequited love. The series portrays a butler's silent suffering due to forbidden love.
