This essay deals with Jean Passepartout, one of the most positive personages by Jules Verne.

He is the French servant of the main character from the novel “Around the world in 80 days”.

In my opinion, this person is no doubt positive. Firstly, he is a curious and creative man. It cannot be denied that Passepartout is a cheerful person always ready for the difficulties.

«Very curious, very curious," said Passepartout to himself, on returning to the steamer. "I see that it is by no means useless to travel, if a man wants to see something new». Due to this part of the novel, I am in favour that Passepartout is a life-lover and a very optimistic character.

Secondly, Passepartout is more than just a loyal servant. He is an honourable man and very useful helper for his master. Furthermore, the character saves an Indian woman named Aouda from death. Owing to Jean and his endless initiative the journey was successful. 

In summary, despite that Jean Passepartout is not the main character and he is even the opposite of the latter, he proved his worth.
