Sorry, this is only a short answer space. I can only give you a general answer.

Digory is the protagonist in the novel. Digory is living in London with his Aunt Letty and Uncle Andrew while they take care of his mother, who is very sick, and while his father is in India. Digory is frightened and lonely which is why he quickly becomes very close with Polly, needing a friend to anchor him and to take his mind off his current circumstances.

Digory is innately curious and courageous. He has a firm understanding of right and wrong, but he is also willful and prone to assuming he knows more than Polly does just because he is a boy. This willful and impulsive nature sometimes leads him to make bad decisions. He does, however, learn from these bad decisions and is thus able to learn from his mistakes. Digory's courage and goodness help to make him the hero of the story.
