In the second half of this novel, Captain Nemo, along with the Nautilus and its hostages, encounter a series of ever so growing perilous encounters. After leaving the Mediterranean, the submarine continues through the Indian Ocean, where Professor Aronnax, Conseil, and Ned Land witness incredible nautical marvels. However, Ned begins to grow impatient of living in the Nautilus. Wanting freedom from his hellish aquatic prison, he plans to escape.

Afonso.Almeida The Nautilus next navigates through dangerous waters, facing dangerous storms, gargantuan underwater creatures, and battle with giant squid. During a pivotal attack on a warship pursuing the Nautilus, Nemo‘s intense hatred surfaces, leaving Aronnax and his companions scarred and contemplating the Captain‘s morality. The story climaxes as the Nautilus enters a whirlpool in Norwegian waters, which imperils the Nautilus. In a close-call escape, 1w
Afonso.Almeida Aronnax, Conseil, and Ned finally escape the chains they were bound to. The novel closes ambiguously, with Aronnax recounting these incredible adventures he has had in the past ten months, unsure of Captain Nemo‘s ultimate fate or the secrets still hidden at the depths of the sea. 1w
Afonso.Almeida Isolation in the pursuit of knowledge leads to enlightenment but also alienation. True fulfillment requires not only discovery but also connection to humanity and what is morally right. Captain Nemo uses the Nautilus to futher his knowledge of the country of his adoption, while also enacting his revenge onto those who banished him from their society. Captain Nemo uses his knowledge for morally incorrect reasons, instead of using it as research. (edited) 1w

In the first half of 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, the story is told from the first-person point of view of Professor Pierre Aronnax, a French naturalist. The story begins with tales of a mysterious sea creature wreaking havoc to ships at sea, leading to rumours of it being a sea monster. Professor Aronnax, along with his servant Conseil and Canadian harpooner Ned Land, is invited onto the USS Abraham Lincoln to hunt down the creature.

Afonso.Almeida After a long chase, the ship encounters the creature, which is revealed to be a highly advanced submarine called the Nautilus. The ship‘s captain, captain Nemo, reveals that he has renounced the world on the surface, preferring the isolated sea as his home. Captain Nemo shows Professor Aronnax the marvels of the deep seas, along with the submarine‘s technological advancements, that truly were a marvel for its time. The perspective of this story 1mo
Afonso.Almeida Creates immersion in the story that allows the reader to experience the underwater odyssey as though they were there, being a part of Captain Nemo‘s crew. Written in 1870, 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea foretells with uncanny accuracy the scientific inventions of the twentieth century. If you enjoy thrilling dramas, this is an exemplary book to read. 1mo
