    (2marks)
    Phileas Fogg, the main character in *Around the World in Eighty Days*, is known for
    his calm, precise, and disciplined nature. At the beginning, he lives a very routine life
    in London, always following a strict schedule. However, when he accepts a bet to
    travel around the world in 80 days, his determination and resourcefulness are tested.
    Fogg's strongest quality is his determination. Throughout the journey, he faces many
    challenges like train delays, ship problems, and even being chased by a detective,
    Fix, who wrongly believes Fogg is a thief. Despite these obstacles, Fogg never loses
    his cool. For example, when a train breaks down, he quickly finds another way to
    continue, even buying an elephant to cross India. This shows how smart and
    focused he is on completing his mission.
    Though he seems emotionless at first, Fogg reveals a caring side. He saves Aouda,
    an Indian woman, from a dangerous ritual, delaying his journey to protect her. This
    shows that Fogg values human life over his own goals. He is also patient with his
    servant, Passepartout, even when he makes mistakes.
    By the end, Fogg grows emotionally. He falls in love with Aouda and marries her,
    showing he’s not just focused on the bet, but also capable of love and kindness.

    Passepartout rushes back to tell Fogg, and they race to the Reform Club. Fogg
    arrives just in time, winning the bet with only minutes to spare. While he regains his
