From being captured by Captain Nemo to his
realization that he must escape, this story of Aronnax
takes the reader on a wonderful adventure and danger
in life underwater. We are introduced to a host of
fascinating marine creatures and witness the wonders
of the undersea world, from vibrant reefs to the
mysterious depths of the ocean.
Captain Nemo's super cool submarine, the Nautilus,
teaches us how technology can help us discover
amazing things. But it also makes us think about using
technology the right way and what happens when we
don't. Captain Nemo's complicated character adds a lot
of depth to the story. His quest for revenge against
society makes us wonder about what's fair and what it
means to be a good person.
"20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" is sure to capture the
imagination and also introduces important themes such
as friendship, exploration, the impact of technology on
society, and our relationship with the natural world.
