GEORGE
George was a bank clerk who was rather an introvert. He is the best person as he is very helpful.His friends at bank thought the only work he does was to sleep. He had some knowledge of the ways of the world and was the one to give sensible advice and suggestions such as the articles that should be taken along on the trip, clothes, food etc. He is calmer and less aggressive than Harris. He did not appear to have much sense of style.He did not like spending much thought on travel matters as he remarked that "anything that was broken, it was broken".He loved laughing at others but did not enjoy much when anyone turned the joke on him. He was not very quick-witted and dependent on others to lead him. He had some knowledge of cooking is evident from the fact that he made a healthy Irish Stew.
Harris
He is a friend of George and Jerome., who joins them on the trip. Although the novel's flashbacks suggest that Jerome. and Harris ( William Samuel Harris) have known each other for a long time, Jerome. actually dislikes Harris a great deal. He constantly criticizes Harris for being lazy and uncultured, and writes that "there is no poetry about Harris – no wild yearning for the unattainable"
Hope this helps !!!
