How would you assess the behaviour of George and Harris?
Answers
The author, Jerome, or J as others generally refer to him, is very often irked by his companions, Harris and George, during their trip together along the Thames. They annoy him by their antics, comments, and boorish behaviour, and on the occasion when he is packing for the trip he is irritated as the other two don't help and just watch him intently and critically. For example, Harris points out that he's left the boots out only when he's already shut the case, and he fumes that:
That's just like Harris.He couldn't have said a word until I'd got the bag shut and strapped, of course. And George laughed - one of those irritating, senseless, chuckle-headed, crack-jawed laughs of his. They do make me so wild.
Answer:
Explanation:
J.
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
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
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" (18).
Montmorency
J.'s lively, belligerent fox terrier. He enjoys both fighting with other dogs and hunting.
