Question

short theme of three men in a boat.

Answer 1

Hi

--》Three Men in a Boat by English writer Jerome K. Jerome is the story of a two-week boating holiday on the Thames from Kingston upon Thames to Oxford and back to Kingston. It's a hilarious take on country life with Jerome's wit and humor spicing up the entire novel. There can be various themes considered for this novel

--》Three young men, and a dog, who have no idea of how to get into a boat, or what to do when they are in it, decide to undertake a camping and rowing trip on an English river.

--》They also have no idea how to pitch a tent, and their attempt to do this, in the pouring rain, is hilarious.

--》They take an absurd amount of food, most of which the dog eats, and the whole thing ends in a kind of politely absurd succession of disasters. And thank you John, I had forgotten about trying to open a can with an oar.

--》IMHO it is one of the three funniest books in the English language. The other two being of course, “1066 and all that,” (Sellars and Yeats,) and “Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town,” (Stephen Leacock.)

--》There was a TV adaption of “Three Men in a Boat.” Do not bother watching it, it missed the point entirely.
