Around the World in Eighty Days was published in 1873, and is one of Jules Verne's most celebrated novels. The story follows two travelers that grow to a trio and then a foursome as they fight their way through countless obstacles to reach home in time. This lesson will focus on the characters and plot summary of Around the World in Eighty Days.

Major Characters

Let's cover the major characters of this novel.

Phileas Fogg is a ruthless perfectionist who cares more about the bet than the exotic places he sees on his travels. He will do anything, even lie and cheat, to get what he wants.

Jean Passepartout is Fogg's French butler. He is an honest, charming man who truly cares about Fogg, but he keeps ending up in situations that delay their travel.

Detective Fix works for Scotland Yard, and is on the trail of a bank robber. In his own way, Fix is as ruthless as Fogg.

Aouda is an Indian Princess. She is trapped by her situation in India, and jumps at the chance to accompany Fogg and Passepartout when they save her from an early death.

Plot Summary

Now let's discuss the plot of Around the World in 80 Days.

Phileas Fogg is a perfectionist. One of the first things we learn about him is that he dismissed his butler for bringing him water that was two degrees too cold. Fogg is a member of the exclusive Reform Club. So, when Fogg says someone can make it around the world in 80 days, we should probably listen.

His club doesn't listen, though, so Fogg takes a bet for £20,000 (about £1.6 million today, or 2.5 million dollars US) that he can do it. So, with his new valet, Passepartout, he leaves London on October 2, 1872. He vows to return by December 21.
