Write the synopsis of the novel
I have selected the novel entitled Around the World in 80 Days written by Jules Verne
in order to answer the question.
The story begins at England. Readers are introduced to Phileas Fogg, a very precise man
who regularly goes to the Reform Club every evening. He goes to the club to play cards and gets
into a conversation with his fellow card players as to whether it is possible to go around the
world in 80 days.
Phileas believes that it is possible and he is challenged to complete the quest. This is the
beginning of the entire plot and from then on we see how Fogg goes around the world and we
witness the amazing adventures that he has with his companions.
The main plot is based on Foggs travels. Fix, the detective follows Fogg all over. He
believes that Fogg is the bank robber of bank of England. He puts obstacles in Foggs path just
so that he can arrest him whenever he gets the warrant from England.
The plot moves ahead with Fogg striving through various obstacles to reach London in
time. He goes through Brindisi, Suez, Bombay, Calcutta, Hong Kong, Yokohama, San Francisco,
New York and finally Liverpool. Fix arrests Fogg at Liverpool and this delays our hero. He
thinks that he has missed the deadline and has not reached London in time when in reality he
reached a full day earlier. Thus Fogg wins the wager and in the course of his travels, finds
himself a worthy charming, beautiful wife, Aouda.

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.
