George
Character Analysis
George is one of Larry's friends and is the person responsible for inspiring the Durrells' move to Corfu in the first place. After the Durrells are settled, he tutors Gerry until he leaves the island a year later. He does his best to appeal to Gerry's interests, which means that George ends up sprinkling a number of zoological facts and other "facts" into his lessons, such as the names of Hannibal's elephants. Most importantly, George teaches Gerry how to keep a diary of his observations of the natural world, which focuses Gerry's interests and helps him learn more.
