Harris’s Character

Harris is the funniest character in the story 'Three Men in a Boat'. His extreme ideas about certain things in life were quite funny and ridiculous. Singing was one of them. He had a conceited misconception about his singing abilities. Harris's friends who had heard him sing believe he must not be allowed to sing. Once, Harris got an opportunity to sing at a party. Everyone was quite excited to hear him sing. He surprised everyone by saying he would sing a comic song! As Harris began singing, he paid least botheration to follow the singing conventions such as correct phrasing, vocalization, maintaining proper scale and pitch of voice. While singing, he would stop in the middle of the song, and start arguing with the pianist. He would restart the song and keep on repeating just the first three lines until he forgot the song and again stop singing. Then he would start again, this time standing in front of the piano and ask the gathering to sing with him in chorus. The gathering would start singing, nobody knowing what to sing. Then the pianist would complain about Harris's song and scale. Harris would change the pianist. Thus Harris would make such a donkey of himself trying to sing a comic song!

Harris’s maze adventure at Hampton Court was another very funny incident. Harris thought the maze was too simple to be called a maze. As he went inside, he found people struggling to find their way out. He scolded them for their inability to find the way out. He told them to keep taking the first turning to the right for ten minutes, and they will find the way out. Harris began walking, taking the right turn; many people began following him. Even after walking for a long time they could not find the way out. Harris suggested they would go back and start afresh. However hard Harris tried, he could not find the way out. Finally people became angry with him, and the experienced maze keeper was called and took everyone out.

Similarly, Harris keeps amusing the readers with his funny actions and words throughout the novel.
