Captain Nemo in Two Wan Li under the Sea is the main character in the novel. Captain Nemo (right)

Cyrus Smith said that no one can judge the merits and demerits of Captain Nemo's life. Captain Nemo is a romantic, mysterious and charming figure. He is as warm, cold, kind, dangerous, gentle, irritable, easy-going and willful as the sea ... He built a diving boat according to his own design and snorkelled on the seabed for large-scale scientific research, but it seems that this is not the only purpose of his lonely life. He avoided enemies and persecutors, sought freedom at the bottom of the sea, and felt deep sorrow for his lonely life. But his conscience has never been erased by cruel life experiences. You can't really understand Captain Nemo just by looking at the two Wan Li under the sea. Maybe, as he said, you can only see a psychopath who sometimes attacks. It was not until the end of Mysterious Island that the role was finally perfected. Verne successfully created the incomparable Prince of Dhaka, spanning two novels. The knowledgeable engineer has a cool head and is calm and witty. He is not a scientist who can't stand the wind and rain in his study and greenhouse, but a national aspiration who grew up in the fire of anti-colonialism struggle. He collected gold and silver treasures at the bottom of the sea and supported the just struggle of the oppressed nations. When the motherland became a colony, he led a few like-minded people to dive into the seabed, and supported and awakened the oppressed people's struggle against colonial rule with rebellious actions and dissatisfied remarks. Verne condemned the brutal expansion of colonialists in the Indian subcontinent through Captain Nemo. On the surface, Captain Nemo seems to be a lonely hermit with a dying heart. But from his deep heart, generate's passionate feelings show that he is a scientific soldier who always pays attention to the world political situation. Captain Nemo longed for not money and wealth, but personal freedom and happiness. He once shouted: "I don't recognize any master in the sea. I am completely free in the sea." This is Captain Nemo's heartfelt words, which truthfully expresses his strong dissatisfaction with colonial rule and reflects his pursuit of freedom. He values freedom more than anything else. In order to be free, he didn't even "go near" an inch of dirty land. He lives on the bottom of the sea, and all the necessities of life are taken from the sea. He would rather dedicate and bury the scientific achievements carefully studied for many years in the sea with his own body than serve the barbaric colonial rulers. Captain Nemo portrayed by Verne is a typical figure in the rising stage of capitalism, with humanitarianism and democratic thoughts. Under the historical conditions at that time, he represented the interests of the emerging bourgeoisie. Through his personality, we can see the enterprising spirit of the bourgeois representative in the rising stage. But by the end of the novel, what Captain Nemo did: attack other countries' warships and destroy them. It also cast a mysterious color on him, which made people puzzled. Since it is a novel, the characters are of course fictional. The Latin name given to Captain Nautilus by the author points out this point more clearly-"Nemo" has no meaning in Latin. But this does not prevent the author from describing him as a flesh-and-blood figure, which makes readers feel credible. Captain Nemo's appearance and personality: confident, because his head is proudly held on the arc formed by the outline of his shoulders, and his gloomy eyes are staring at others calmly. Calm down, because his skin is pale and not rosy, which means he is calm. His perseverance can be seen from the rapid contraction of his orbital muscles. Brave, because his deep breathing shows great vitality. I have to add that this man looks arrogant, and his firm and calm eyes seem to reflect profound thoughts. Judging from his overall image, his behavior and expression are consistent, and according to Mr. physiognomy, he is rich in an unquestionable straightforward personality. He is tall, with an open forehead, a straight nose and slender hands. In the words of palmistry, he is full of "synaesthesia", that is to say, he complements his proud and emotional mind. It can be said that this person is probably the most perfect person I have ever met. There is another subtle feature. His eyes are slightly apart, so he can have a panoramic view. This function-which I later confirmed-made his vision higher than that of Ned Land 1 times. When a stranger's eyes are facing something, his brow is always locked, his broad eyelids are slightly closed, and his eyes are wrapped by his eyelids, thus narrowing his vision. He stared, what a sharp eye! Captain Nemo learned languages: Nautilus, French, English, German and Latin. (Chapter 10 Man in the Water) Captain Nemo's library on the Nautilus: * * 12,000 volumes. In these books, I saw the masterpieces of ancient and modern masters-from Homer to victor hugo, from Zenofen to Michelangelo, from rabelais to Madame George Thornton, all the achievements accumulated by human beings in history, poetry and science over the years. , everything. Specialized science books are the most precious part of this library, and books such as mechanics, ballistics, oceanography, meteorology, geography and geology occupy no less position than natural science books. I understand that these are the focus of the captain's research. I saw the complete works of Han Bohr and arago on the bookshelf, as well as the works of Vogel, Henry Saint-Clery de Ville scheil, Mill Edward, Carter Farley, Dundal, Faraday, Berthelot, Abbott Xi Xue, Bertman, Major Molly, Agassiz and others. Papers of the Academy of Sciences, journals of the National Geographic Society, and so on. The two books I wrote were also placed in a prominent position, and I was able to receive Captain Nemo quite generously, probably because of these two books. In Bertrand's works, his "The Founder of Astronomy" let me calculate the exact date when the ship was built. I know that this book was published in 1865, so I can conclude that Nautilus was launched after this period. In this way, Captain Nemo began his life under the sea for no more than three years. I really hope there are more latest books for me to set this date: but I think I will have time to do this kind of research; I don't want to delay visiting the miracle on the nautilus any longer. Captain Nemo Museum: ● Calligraphy and painting collection: The works of masters of all ages are hung here: a portrait of the Madonna of Raphael, a portrait of the Madonna of Leonardo da Vinci, a portrait of a girl in Gorich, a portrait of a woman in Dion, a portrait of the worship of Bienez, a portrait of the ascension of the Madonna of Milero, a portrait of a monk in velazquez and a portrait of a martyr in Ribeira. , Misu. , three paintings by Bautel, two paintings by Ye and Prudden, and several seascape paintings by Wei Yi. Among modern works, there are oil paintings engraved with the names of Delacroix, Angel, Degan, Duroyan and Messoni, as well as some miniature bronze statues and stone statues imitating the most beautiful ancient models, which are placed on the shelf in the corner of this gorgeous museum. ● Music art: Weber, Rossini, Mozart, Beethoven, Haydn, Meibier. According to the music scores of Nadine, Obi-Wan, Cournot and others, these music scores were randomly placed on a grand piano, occupying a square in the living room. In addition to works of art, rare products in nature also occupy a very important position. These things are mainly plants, shells and other marine products: first, the beautiful Indian Ocean turtle, whose regular white spots stand out against a reddish-brown background. Secondly, Feng Wang, with prickly skin and bright colors, is a rare variety in European museums. I estimate its value at 20,000 francs. Secondly, the rough shellfish common in the waters of New Holland Island are not easy to catch. Secondly, the exotic shellfish on Senegal island, two crisp white shells are like soap bubbles, which will dissipate when blown. Secondly, several Java pseudo-watering can-shaped shells, like calcareous tubes, are most popular with shell lovers because of their leafy wrinkles on the edges. Secondly, a whole group of shallow shells, some blue and yellow, from the American Sea, some brown, breed in the waters of New Holland Island. The latter is produced in the Gulf of Mexico, and its shell is scaly and persimmon-shaped, which is the most prominent. The former is a star-shaped shell taken from the Antarctic ocean. The rarest and most beautiful shell in this group is the bony spur shell of New Zealand. Followed by beautiful plate-shaped shells containing sulfur, precious beautiful shells from Siddeley and Venus, lattice plate-shaped shells along the coast of Shangrangba, shiny fine-grained hoofed shells from mother-of-pearl, green sail shells from the Sea of China, almost unknown conical shells among conical shells, various magnetic shells used as currency in India and Africa, and the most precious shell in east indies-"the glory of the sea". Finally, there are snails, swallow snails, pyramid snails, sea clams, egg shells, snail shells, tortoise shells, iron helmet shells, cinnabar shells, oil snails, harp snails, rock snails, French snails, fossil snails, spindle snails, sleeve shells, wing shells, bell shells, Nietzsche shells and prismatic shells, which are exquisite and crisp, scientists. Captain Nemo's Wealth: The construction cost of Nautilus is1790,000 francs, including the equipment cost of 2 million francs, and all the artworks and collectibles on board are 5 million francs. Captain Nemo said: "Infinitely rich, I can pay off billions of French national debt without any difficulty!" Captain Nemo's love for submarines: "I love it as if it were my favorite thing!" " Although your ship is often accidentally attacked by the ocean. Everything at sea is dangerous. Yang Sheng, a Dutchman, put it very well. He said that people's first impression at sea is the feeling of being afraid of the bottomless pit. But on the Nautilus, people have no fear at all. There is no need to be afraid that the ship will be damaged, because the double hull of this ship is as hard as steel; It has no cable that will be damaged by the agitation or impact of wind and waves: it has no sail that will be blown away by the wind; It has no iron furnace where steam can be decomposed; It won't have a terrible fire, because the ship is made entirely of steel, not wood; It doesn't need coal that sometimes runs out, because electricity is its mechanical power; Because it is alone in deep water, there will be no terrible collision; It doesn't have to risk the storm, because it can get absolute peace a few meters underwater! Sir, this is the advantage of this ship. It is a special, excellent and unique ship! For this ship, the design engineer may have more confidence than the chief architect, and the chief architect may have more confidence than the captain. If so, then you can understand why I completely trust my Nautilus, because I am also the captain, architect and engineer of this ship! "Captain Nemo's love for the sea: Yes, I love the sea! The sea is all-encompassing The ocean accounts for seven tenths of the earth's area. The taste of the sea is pure and sanitary. In this sea of Wang Yang, people are not lonely, because they feel that life is trembling around them; The sea is an extraordinary and wonderful journey of survival; The sea is flowing, the sea is love, as a great French poet said, it is eternal life. Indeed, professor, there are three kinds of animals, plants and minerals in the ocean in nature. Animals can multiply in the sea, mainly including four coelenterates, three arthropods, five mollusks and three vertebrates, namely mammals, reptiles and countless fish. Fish is an endless animal ... * * * There are more than thirteen thousand species, of which only one tenth is in fresh water. The ocean is the storehouse of nature. It can be said that the earth started from the ocean, who knows whether the earth will belong to the ocean in the future! There is an extremely peaceful environment in the sea. The sea does not belong to the oppressor. At sea, they can also attack each other with violence, devour each other there, and use all kinds of terrorist means on land there. But below 30 feet above sea level, their strength will not be reached, their arrogance will be put out and their city will disappear! Ah! Sir, if you want to live, live in the sea! Only in the sea is independence! In the sea, the enemy does not admit that there is any master: I am completely free in the sea!
