Jerome K. Jerome's novel 'Three Men in a Boat' is full of
sterling humour. The tone, vocabulary, characters, and incidents are full of
pure humour. This humour comes from his knack of perceiving humour in
situations and comments on the commonplace things and happenings.
Be it the description of his imagined ailment, or the packing scene, or Uncle
Podger's hanging of the picture, or the cheese scene, genuine humour is
ubiquitous throughout the novel. Besides the ordinary humour, there are certain
extreme humour scenes. Scenes such as Harris getting lost in the maze while
offering help to the already lost visitors. Apart from the above mentioned scenes,
there are many other scenes that make the reader laugh a lot. Humour is the
essence of this novel.
