•“A short man with small eyes and bushy eyebrows that twitched constantly”

• A detective who’s hot on the trail of Fogg whom he thinks robbed the Bank of England

• Persistent - doggedly follows Fogg, Passepartout and Aouda around the world

• Materialistic – follows Fogg around the world only because there’s a reward

• The story begins in England. • We are introduced to Fogg, a very

precise man who regularly goes to the Reform Club every evening.

• At one such visit to the club to play cards, he gets into a conversation with his fellow card players as to whether it is possible to go around the world in eighty days.

• He believes that it is and is challenged to complete the adventure.

• Fix, the detective follows Fogg all over world.

• He believes that Fogg is the bank robber who has robbed a great sum from the bank of England.

• He puts obstacles in Fogg’s path just so that he can arrest him whenever he gets the warrant from England.

• Passepartout too wonders whether his master might be a robber though in his heart he has ample trust in Fogg’s integrity.

• Fogg strives through various obstacles to reach London in time.

• He goes through 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 hasn't reached London in time when in reality he reaches a full day earlier.

• Thus Fogg wins the wager and in the course of his travels, finds himself a worthy charming, beautiful wife too.

1 Phileas Fogg is very particular about time. He timed his life by a clock. There was a strange clock in a corner of the room. It showed the hours, the minutes, the seconds, the days, the months and the years….

2 Every minute counts. A train is missed because of being late. ‘The ‘China,’ the steamer bound for Liverpool, had left just forty-five minutes before!’

3 Even a few minutes, an hour or a day earlier can make a difference. ‘To-tomorrow is Sunday!...Phileas Fogg had fifteen minutes to reach the Reform Club.’

• Time is very precious and should be used in the most practical manner

• We should face life’s lessons with patience and strength
