Does Colum support the old feudal order?

Because of his humble Irish antecedents, perhaps, Colum presents the common people among his characters sympathetically. While he is often admiring of the nobility of the warriors and chieftains he depicts, he hardly endorses the old feudal order. Indeed, stories such as "The Arrow and the Swing," "The Fish-Hook of Pearl," and "Ha-le-ma-no and the Princess Kama" eschew the values of the traditional caste system.
