One of the all-time great adventure novels and certainly the most famous non-science fiction one by Jules Verne.In 1872 London, UK, the very proper English gentleman Phileas Fogg finds himself in a wager at his social club that he can travel around the world in eighty days, a seemingly impossible feat to Fogg's doubters. Thus committed, Fogg begins his trip at once, bringing along his new manservant, Jean Passepartout, who ironically wanted a nice sedate job after years traveling about in various jobs such as an acrobat or fireman.Along the way, Fogg and Passepartout have numerous adventures as they struggle to keep to a strict schedule. The most notable one in the first half is rescuing the beautiful Indian woman, Aouda, from being forced into a ceremonial self-immolation in India. Although Fogg tries to help her reach relatives in another safe British colony, this proves impossible and she becomes their fast companion for keeps who herself becomes more and more attracted to the dashing and intriguing Fogg.Unfortunately, there is a bank robbery in London and although Fogg is completely innocent, his trip abroad seems too coincidental by Detective Fix's reckoning. So, as Fogg begins his race, Fix follows him, unsuccessfully trying to keep his quarry stationary and initially unaware of how far he is going until it becomes more worthwhile to help Fogg complete his journey back to England where Fix can legally arrest him.As the gang continues their race through more adventures, it comes to a screeching halt when they reach Britain, where Fix arrests Fogg. Although Fix later lets Fogg out of jail upon realizing he made a mistake, they are apparently too late as they arrive in London.However, Aouda inadvertently saves the day: both in love with Fogg and feeling guilty that she may have cost him his bet, she proposes to the now-ruined Phileas and he joyfully accepts. Passepartout is sent to get a vicar to arrange the wedding, only to learn that the gang forgot they gained a day due to traveling east and actually arrived early. With only moments left to the deadline, Fogg and company race to the Club and make it just in time.A Character List is in progress here.The book has numerous adaptations, first on stage and then on film and TV. See below. | |

The Millstone | |
| Around the World in Eighty Days / int_121476bd | comment |
The Millstone: Aouda fears that her presence with the travelers cost Fogg his bet by delaying him. Fogg firmly denies she was any problem and any concerns she may still have are dispelled by the fact that she is then instrumental instead in saving the day. Passepartout at times as well. Several large delays were caused by him, even if mostly indirectly — like being lured into an opium den in Hong Kong by Fix, or being kidnapped by Sioux in America. Blundering into a Hindu temple in Bombay and being dragged to court for this was totally his own doing, though. | |

Screw the Rules, I Have Money! | |
| Around the World in Eighty Days / int_230d64 | comment |
Screw the Rules, I Have Money!: How Fogg solves most of his travel difficulties. His luggage comprises one very oversized carpetbag stuffed with cash. Whenever a problem occurs, he buys the solution. In fact, Fogg bets half his fortune (20,000 pounds) and takes the other half with him. So, as Verne himself notes in a chapter heading, he's just about even afterwards. Note that 40,000 quid at the time is equivalent to roughly US$13 million as of now, on a gold price alone. The purchase power parity would yield even higher amount. Spending 6 megabucks in just 80 days would smooth the things up quite a bit. Even though he stands to make an incredible amount of money or lose everything, it's not about the money. It's about the adventure, and Fogg's honour: for at the outset, he notes that "a gentleman never jokes about a bet". | |

Lampshade Hanging | |
| Around the World in Eighty Days / int_2a090d00 | comment |
Passepartout's name literally means "goes everywhere" in French and has been used as a slang term for a skeleton key (capable of opening any lock). Furthermore, the name sounds a mighty lot like "Passport", which is inseparable from the modern traveller. He admits himself the name is fitting, as he went through several jobs in his past. | |

It's not until Passepartout discovers they actually got back to London the day before the deadline that they realize they still have a chance. | |

| Around the World in Eighty Days / int_339b3062 | comment |
Quintessential British Gentleman: Phileas Fogg. He's very proper and extremely stiff, and takes his routine seriously. He's also described as a very handsome man. One of his travelling companion thinks his scheme nonsensical and not what a proper gentleman should devote his time to, but he wins him over when he's determined to help Aouda. | |

"Burly Detective" Syndrome: Aouda is a young beautiful Indian woman, who is rescued from a satinote Ritual immolation of widows, in many instances forced upon her by Mr Fogg and his companions. She travels with them because she's in danger of being forced into the ceremony again. The narrator later refers to her as "the young woman" a lot. | |

Damsel in Distress: Aouda in her debut in the book. However after her rescue, Aouda more than pulls her own weight in the story. For example, when their train is attacked by Indians note Native Americans , Aouda immediately gets a gun and starts shooting along with her companions and of course, she saves Fogg's future at the climax of the story. | |

Mysterious Past | |
| Around the World in Eighty Days / int_421ae215 | comment |
Mysterious Past: Nothing about Fogg's Back Story is explained in the book: he's simply a wealthy gentleman living off the rent on his capital, doing nothing except reading papers and playing cards at his club. However during his journey we witness firsthand that he's able to handle a gun, navigate a boat and a ship, knows a lot about engineering, etc. How We Got Here, though, remains a mystery even in the finale. The fact that he is able to recognize the taste of cat meat when it is served to him, passed as rabbit, might hint that he found himself in a city under siege, or served in an army in difficult times (the Crimean War, perhaps?) | |

Funny Foreigner | |
| Around the World in Eighty Days / int_434d893c | comment |
Funny Foreigner: Passepartout plays this role more than once. Verne is playing with the trope since, as a Frenchman, Passepartout is not a foreigner from the author's perspective. This trope is deconstructed when the American circus master in Japan offers Passepartout a job as a clown on his troupe, "In France, they hire foreign jesters. Abroad, they hire French buffoons." | |

So Fogg has the crew rip out just about everything on the vessel made of wood, and throw the wood in the furnace. By the time Fogg reaches England the ship is nothing but an iron hull above the waterline. | |

The Big Guy | |
| Around the World in Eighty Days / int_500ecfb7 | comment |
The Big Guy: Passepartout, one of whose odd jobs was a fireman. Keep in mind the story is set in an age when firemen needed to pull the burning houses apart by hand, and thus invariably were recruited from men built like brick outhouses. Passepartout's immense physical strength (and agility) is mentioned several times in the book: when he is forced to join a Japanese circus run by an American when he is temporarily stranded in Yokohama without any money, during the Indian attack on the train in United States, and when Fogg is forced to buy the steamship he's using to cross the Atlantic back to England and then burn all the wooden parts to keep it moving. | |

Clock King | |
| Around the World in Eighty Days / int_60665480 | comment |
Clock King: Phileas Fogg until the end, when he breaks his usual habits to win his bet. Phileas Fogg is the Unbuilt Trope for the Clock King: published at 1872, is the Trope Maker, but also explores all the ramifications about that trope: Being a Mysterious Stranger, the readers never know any of his Back Story, and only in the very last chapters the reader realizes that Fogg’s extreme reserve was not an Evil Brit case, but only a severe case of British Stuffiness. Unlike all his imitators, Fogg is very good at Xanatos Speed Chess and the Indy Ploy, because that’s the only way he can win The Bet. Fogg’s plan didn’t work, but it didn’t work in his favor: the Universe rewards him by granting him almost an extra day. And the one obsessed with his clock was not him, but his employee, Jean Passepartout. | |

| Around the World in Eighty Days / int_6331ba26 | comment |
Plot Hole: OK, so the International Date Line didn't exist, so Fogg might not have noticed that he was gaining a few minutes every day if he was counting off days as he went. But he should have noticed the calendar date as he transited the United States, studying train tables and ship schedules. In particular, even if Fogg never so much as looked at a newspaper in the United States, he should not have missed his transatlantic steamer — unless for some unexplained reason it left a whole day earlier than scheduled. | |

Meaningful Name: Passepartout's name literally means "goes everywhere" in French and has been used as a slang term for a skeleton key (capable of opening any lock). Furthermore, the name sounds a mighty lot like "Passport", which is inseparable from the modern traveller. He admits himself the name is fitting, as he went through several jobs in his past. Phileas Fogg's background is mysterious and obscure, or foggy. Inspector Fix is fixated on the belief that Fogg is the robber (an idée fixe, fixed idea). Colonel Proctor, a character from the Eagleland of the boorish category. Given what proctology is (study of rectal diseases and infections), Verne is basically saying that the character is an ass. | |

Swiss-Cheese Security | |
| Around the World in Eighty Days / int_72c07237 | comment |
Swiss-Cheese Security: The Bank of England takes it up to eleven. Basically, they don’t want to show any doubt in the customer's trustworthiness, so they have no security whatsoever. Gold, silver and banknotes are laying out in the open, with no guards and not even the cashier keeping an eye on the stuff. Which makes the theft of fifty five thousand pounds more understandable. | |

| Around the World in Eighty Days / int_7ac1f1e5 | comment |
Sympathetic Inspector Antagonist: Fix to a degree. He might be considered the bridge between Inspector Javert and this, being comical like a Sympathetic Inspector Antagonist is, but also unethical like an Inspector Javert. Much more sympathetic in the miniseries, where he is played by Peter Ustinov. | |

Absurdly High-Stakes Game: Phileas Fogg bets half his fortune that he can travel around the world in eighty days and takes the other half with him in cash to cover expenses during the trip. If he wins the bet, he'll have at least as much money as he started with; if he loses, he runs the risk of ending up broke. | |

Wealthy Philanthropist: Phileas Fogg is a very rich English gentleman of the Idle Rich variety because he has no job and doesn't seem to do much except frequenting the Reform Club, reading papers and playing whist. The narrator says that whenever he knew that money was needed for a noble, useful, or benevolent purpose, he supplied it quietly and sometimes anonymously. He also gives money to a beggar-woman with a child who asks for alms when he and Passepartout leave London (20 guineas, equal to more than two thousand pounds in 2021). | |

| Around the World in Eighty Days / int_a8a4b41e | comment |
Not So Stoic: Fogg only loses his cool twice in the entire story: The first time is when Fix comes up to apologise to him for his Wrongfully Accused business, and sets him free. Phileas Fogg, quintessential Gentleman Adventurer and completely in control of his emotions and passions throughout his voyage, decks Fix so hard the inspector collapses like a sack of potatoes. Though Fogg does forgive Fix after that. The second time is when Aouda offers to marry him. He is described as having for a moment an "unwonted light in his eyes, and a slight trembling of his lips" before he accepts her offer. | |

Unintentional Period Piece | |
| Around the World in Eighty Days / int_adda84d4 | comment |
Unintentional Period Piece: When Passepartout arrives at Yokohama, Verne provides a good description of the Japanese political system in the middle of 1860s that most Europeans would have been unaware of: namely that there is a "civil emperor" (the Shogun) and an "ecclesiastical emperor" (the position that we usually call the emperor of Japan today). By the time the novel was published (1872), however, events in Japan (Meiji Restoration) had made this description obsolete, as the "civil emperor" was overthrown in 1868 and the "ecclesiastical emperor" was installed as the sole (nominal) emperor. At best, this places the novel in a very narrow window of just the few years between 1865 and 1868 (since the novel's events in United States clearly indicate that the American Civil War is over.), or more likely, the impossible time period when the American Civil War has been over for several (more than 3) years but the Meiji Restoration has not yet taken place. | |

Passepartout at times as well. Several large delays were caused by him, even if mostly indirectly — like being lured into an opium den in Hong Kong by Fix, or being kidnapped by Sioux in America. Blundering into a Hindu temple in Bombay and being dragged to court for this was totally his own doing, though. | |

| Around the World in Eighty Days / int_da1c8191 | comment |
Writers Cannot Do Math: Plenty of mathematical errors were made by Verne. For example, in the first chapter, Phileas asks for the time to Passepartout, who responds with 11:22. Phileas claims he’s four minutes behind, and almost immediately after that says its 11:29 at the moment. That’s seven minutes. And later in the story, the apparent difference between 11:40 a.m. and 8:45 p.m. is nine hours and fifteen minutes (it’s supposed to be nine hours and five minutes). | |

World Tour: The Trope Codifier. Phileas Fogg must travel round the world and along the way, he visits several important cities but he's actually absolutely uninterested in those mesmerising, unique places. His servant Passepartout is the one who admires the world's many wonders. The plan is to go from London to Suez via Paris, Mont Cenis and Brindisi, then to Bombay, Calcutta, Hong Kong, and Yokohama; from Yokohama to San Francisco and then to New York and from New York back to London. It must be accomplished in 80 days and the plan is to travel by rail or streamers. They also use an elephant, a small pilot-boat and a sledge with sails. | |

Contrived Coincidence: Somebody robs the Bank of England at roughly the same time Fogg and Passpartout set out on their journey, and the robber's vague description matches that of Fogg, so Detective Fix mistakes him for the bank robber and pursues him accordingly. Then, when they all get back to England and Fix arrests Fogg, it turns out that the real robber was arrested in Edinburgh three days before. | |

| Around the World in Eighty Days / int_e9f517e1 | comment |
Artistic License – Geography: The ending hinges on Fogg not noticing that he has gained an extra day (by crossing the then-unnamed International Date Line) until his arrival back in London. However, this oversight requires him not to notice the date during his entire trip across America, and to fail to notice when he boards a ship across the Atlantic to Britain a day early. This case of Failed a Spot Check is out-of-character for Fogg, who, the narration notes, constantly adjusts his watch to account for his passage between time zones. | |
