JEROME KLAPKA JEROME(Jerome): The protagonist of his own classic novel as well as the narrator, he is a hypochondriac always concerned about his health. He is not so vocal and rarely takes any initiative but his presence is indispensable. He is a keen observer of persons and places. Because of his long association with river Thames, he gives a wonderful description of the people and places on the river. His sense of humour and the ability to laugh at himself is unmatched. He loves beauty and romance. He displays deep knowledge of social practices, history, food, costumes and drinks that the people of the Thames region are associated with. In fact, he has all the qualities of a professional traveller.

GEORGE WINGRAVE (George): He has been portrayed as a lazy fellow who is perfect in only one work that is sleeping. He goes to sleep from ten to four each day except Saturdays, when the narrator and Carl Hentschel (Harris) wake him up at two o' clock. He is also a hypochondriac like the others. Sometimes he appears to be very clever, though he is just reverse to it in reality.

CARL HENTSCHEL (Harris): He is happy-go-lucky man who wants to enjoy life to the brim. H ei sfond of drinking. He does not like to camp out in the rainy weather because evrything is damp and wet outside. He thinks he is the master of all trades whereas what he does is only to mess up everything. He is ever ready to take responsibilty of evrything on himself and transfer it to others people. He exhibits a poor understanding of his talent as a singer of 'comic' songs and makes a sorry picture of himself before the people who are present there. 

MONTMORENCY: The dog montmorency is a fox-terrier. The writer gives a human face to the dog. He is naturally gifted with a sharp understanding of humans, matters and situations, traits rarely found in this breed of animals. In fact, he is an important part of the three men's journey on river Thames. He is portrayed as clever and a root cause of most of the mischief and trouble. He shows traits which are not found even in some human beings.
