After reading the novel, "Around the World in 80 Days", I could say that (Phileas) Fogg is the hero of the story. Though in some parts, it seemed like it was Passepartout or Aouda was a hero. So who is the real hero? Is Aouda the hero? Aouda did help in the story but, I do not belive that she could be the hero. The time I think that she really had helped is when she offered to be married.

So (in short), Fogg had went out to collect his reward of 20,000 pounds. But just remeber that none of that would have happened if Passepartout had rescued Aouda. Is Fogg the hero? Fogg is the main character, and main characters are usually the heros but, I belive that Fogg is not a real hero. I think that because when ever a problem came across the party, Fogg usually just sloved it using money. So Fogg did not actually try to fight any of the problems. One exception is when he had rescued Passepartout after being taken by the Indians, no money was really used. Another way that he
