Morris is Andy’s 78-year-old landlord, who has a propensity for believing conspiracy theories. Morris's character, with his eccentricities and his joy at receiving a letter from Julian Assange, adds depth and humor to the narrative. While Morris believes the letter to be genuine, later revelations in the novel show that Andy was the one who wrote the letter, adding an element of irony and highlighting Andy's creativity and desire to bring joy to Morris's life. Morris's acceptance of Andy's invitation to spend Christmas with him and his mum underscores the importance of friendship and connection during difficult times. His presence in Andy's life offers a reprieve from the novel's heavier themes and serves as a reminder of the human capacity for joy, despite the challenges and complexities of navigating relationships and personal growth.
