In A Gorilla in the Guest Room by Gerald Durrell,  we have the theme of  fear, trust, connection, anxiety, equality, control, responsibility, and freedom. Narrated by Durrell himself the reader realises after reading the story that Durrell is exploring the theme of trust

Explanation:

  • N'Pongo (a friendly gorilla) is affectionate to Durrell if anything. He has been with Durrell much of his life and feels he can trust him as well. Whereas Nandy is slower to trust either Durrell/N’Pongo because of her previous dealings with people (and possibly other gorillas). She suffered from those 
  • However fortunately for Nandy,  Durrell has her best interests at heart as can be seen by how he treats Nandy throughout the story. There is no real need for Nandy to distrust Durrell
  • Gerald Durrell criticized the condition of wildlife conservation across the globe. He said that modern countries like Africa have been so busy trying to  prove their worth to the world so much that issues about wildlife protection have been put at the back stage
  • Durrell often sheds attention on the mismanagement of many animal conservation/care institutions that do not secure mates for their animals – an essential consideration for the wellbeing of an animal. Finally, the abuse of humans towards animals is also indicated by the scar in the head of Nandy, which was given to her by the human who caught her.
  • In this short story, we discover that it is not easy to maintain a zoo. One does not only acquire animals, but also one must take care of their health and well-being of them. We get to know about the anxieties of zookeepers through the episode when N’Pongo falls critically ill.
  • The incident was so upsetting for Mr. Durrell that he was also willing to postpone his significant business trip to France in order to stay back to ensure the recovery of his ape. At this time Mr Durrell displayed a commitment and care that shows us the profound respect for animals by wildlife conservationists
  • The story also reveals two beautiful relations in detail: one between the zookeeper and his animals and the one between N'Pongo and his mate Nandy. Mr. Durrell and N'Pongo were unlike the master and pet. They both got along as if they were friends.
  • Also, the loving details in the story show the relationship between N'Pongo and Nandy, such as the small fights into which the apes enter and the plans that they developed to share the common space of the cage.
  • The empathy with which the writer treated these animals is what shines through the short stories because these animals hardly remain animals and touch our hearts just like any other human character would
