Compare the characters Passepartout and Detective Fix from the novel ‘Around the World in Eighty Days’.

Answer 1

Passepartout is a loyal, sensitive, and friendly servant who accompanies Mr. Fogg on his journey around the world. He is loving, impulsive, and deeply concerned about Fogg’s well-being. On the other hand, Detective Fix is dutiful but unimaginative and stubborn. He lacks the analytical skills a detective needs and wrongfully arrests Fogg, believing he is a bank robber. Despite their differences, both Passepartout and Fix are loyal and committed to their respective goals. Eventually, they realise their mistake and repent for doubting Fogg's integrity.
