Question

Give a character sketch of all jerome harris and george ( including all the similarities of the three ) in a single part

Answer 1

The narrator of the novel, most likely based on Jerome himself. J. has a dog named Montmorency, and two friends, George and Harris. He sees himself as intelligent, hard-working, and competent, but his behavior in the novel suggests otherwise. Like his friends, J. is a hypochondriac.

George is a good-natured banker, and one of J.'s best friends. Of the three men, he is portrayed as the only one who is seriously dedicated to his job. He brings a banjo on the boat trip and tries to learn how to play it.

Harris is a friend of George and J., who joins them on the trip. Although the novel's flashbacks suggest that J. and Harris (full name William Samuel Harris) have known each other for a long time, J. 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"

Answer 2

George is a good natured banker and keeps a strict time schedule and is always ready for a pint after hours. He is one the two friends to accompany Jerome in his trip along the Thames. He is boisterous and he shows up for his vacation carrying a banjo. Though he carried his banjo, he can't play music. Sometimes he appears to be clever through he is actually not clever. He is witty and quite mature. He loves to sleep especially on Saturdays. He was lazy and messy. He also snores a lot which was not liked by his friends. The idea of river trip was his idea. His tendency to sleep in sometimes creates funny situations. One night, his watch stops and he wakes in the middle of night and dresses up for work. He is one of the important characters in the novel.

Harris is the funniest character in the story. His extreme ideas for certain things in like were quite funny and ridiculous like singing. He felt he had very good singing ability however his friends believe he must not be allowed to sing. He made quite a fun of himself while singing a comic song at a party. He is outspoken and does not hesitate to tell his friends what he thinks even if it is not pleasant. He also short tempered. He loves to rile other people. He refuses to stay in the inn because wh does not like the look of a man he sees there. In the end, he has the courage to say that they did well to abort the trip when the weather turned inclement.
