Around the World in 80 Days - The Character I Dislike the Most

Around the World in 80 Days The character I Dislike the Most
I have selected the novel entitled Around the World in 80 Days written by Jules Verne in order to answer the question. The novel tells about a gentleman named Phileas Fogg who goes around the world in 80 days with his butler, Jean Passepartout as they embark on journey which is full of adventures and surprises. The character I dislike the most in the novel is Detective Fix. Detective Fix is one of the many detectives who are on the trail of the infamous robber of the Bank of England. I dislike him the most because he is a judgemental, hypocritical and suspicious person. First and foremost, Detective Fix is a judgemental person. Since the portrait of the bank robber happens to resemble Foggs persona, Detective Fix passes a judgement that Phileas Fogg is gulty for the robbery without further investigation. In addition to this, Detective Fix is a hypocritical person. Detective Fix befriends Passepartout with the sole aim of keeping a tab on Fogg. Last but not least, Detective Fix is a suspicious person. He suspects that Phileas is the robber without any concrete proof and he asks Stephenson not to stamp Phileas Foggs passport until he gets a warrant to arrest him. In conclusion, the character I dislike the most is Detective Fix because he is a judgemental, hypocritical and suspicious person. His negative traits make readers detest him the most. (233 words)

He wants everyone who travels with him to be comfortable and safe. He makes sure that Aouda has her own cabin and provides everything she needs. He also offers to pay Passepartouts bail of two thousand pounds so that Passepartout need not go to jail. Phileas Fogg is kind as he is willing to go all out to help anyone. For example, he saves Auoda when she is kidnapped by the bandits. He had to cut open the wall of the hut to rescue her.

MORAL VALUES

Based on the novel Around The World In Eighty Days by Jules Verne, the moral value I want to talk about is gratitude.This moral value is shown in Passespartout and Aouda. Passepartout is grateful when Phileas Fogg saves him from going to prison. Fogg has to pay two thousand pounds for his bail. Passespartout is touched by this gesture because he knows that Fogg does not have to pay for his mistakes. That is why he tries so hard to please Phileas Fogg all the time. Aouda is grateful for things that have been done for her. She appreciates Phileas Fogg for rescuing her from the bandits and being kind to her throughout the trip. Fogg provides a cabin for her and makes sure she is safe. In return she is willing to marry Phileas even though she knows that he has no money.

EVENT

Based on the novel Around The World In Eighty Days by Jules Verne, one of the eventsthat I find memorable is when Phileas Fogg and Passepartout rescue Aouda from the bandits. While travelling through the forest in India, Fogg, Sir Francis, Ali and Passepartout rescue the daughter of a wealthy merchant who is held captive in a hut by the bandits. Even though they do not know her, they go all out to save her. Another reason why this event is memorable is how the four men manage to get Aouda out of the hut. They work together to break the wall of the hut and escape from the bandits. The above event is very memorable to me because they went through a lot of trouble to save a stranger.

THEME Based on the novel Around The World In Eighty Days by Jules Verne, the theme of determination is clearly shown by Phileas Fogg. He puts in great effort in everything that he does. Foggs determination and perseverance led him to overcome many obstacles. One of the examples of a difficult obstacle that Fogg overcomes is when he decides to rescue Aouda. He and his companions cut through the wall of a hut to set her free. They almost lost their lives when the bandits shot arrows at them. Another example is when he goes to the extent of buying the ship from Captain Speedy just to reach Liverpool on time. When they are short of coal, he orders the crew to burn parts of the ship to keep the ship going. The examples above show the determination in Phileas Fogg.
