Back to Three men in a boat (to say nothing of the dog)
From "Three men in a boat (to say nothing of the dog)" by Jerome, Jerome K. (Jerome Klapka)
Montmorency
Jerome's fox terrier dog
Core Belief
"The world is a playground to be explored and disrupted. Rules and conventions are meant to be challenged, and personal enjoyment should always take precedence."
Worldview
Montmorency sees the world as a source of endless amusement and opportunities for mischief. He is driven by instinct and a desire for attention, often disregarding the consequences of his actions.
Personality
Montmorency is mischievous, self-important, and prone to getting into trouble. He enjoys fighting, causing chaos, and generally being a nuisance, but also displays moments of unexpected loyalty and affection.
In Their Own Words
"It’s all very well for you fellows, he says; you like it, but _I_ don’t. There’s nothing for me to do. Scenery is not in my line, and I don’t smoke. If I see a rat, you won’t stop; and if I go to sleep, you get fooling about with the boat, and slop me overboard. If you ask me, I call the whole thing bally foolishness."
"Montmorency’s ambition in life, is to get in the way and be sworn at. If he can squirm in anywhere where he particularly is not wanted, and be a perfect nuisance, and make people mad, and have things thrown at his head, then he feels his day has not been wasted."
"Montmorency hailed this compromise with much approval. He does not revel in romantic solitude. Give him something noisy; and if a trifle low, so much the jollier."
