Explanation:
Ned Malone is a twenty-three-year-old reporter for the Daily Gazette. He is in love with Gladys Hungerton, who rebuffs his proposal of marriage, because she wants a man who is willing to face death in the effort to accomplish a great deed. Ned naively thinks if he undertakes such a task, she will then marry him.
Ned is not a man who shrinks from danger, nor is he someone who does not think through his actions before undertaking them. He therefore, goes against his nature in his quest to fulfill Gladys' requirements for a husband. He enlists the help of his editor, McArdle, to find him a story he can cover, which involve danger and great accomplishments.
Ned uses his intelligence and cunning to win an interview with Professor Challenger. He poses as a science student to gain entry to the professor's home and through his actions he also gains the professor's acceptance.
Ned shows true courage on the plateau as he does his part to keep himself and the others safe. He also shows determination by not allowing setbacks such as falling into a pit, being attacked by pterodactyls, and fighting with the Accala to cause him to either give up or run away from stressful situations.creatures.
