Jules Verne created many images of positive heroes. All of them are always ready for heroism or sacrifice, they are distinguished by strength, courage, fearlessness and generosity. But each hero also has his own personality. These are representatives of different social  layers, different specialties, different ages, people from different countries. Everyone has their own faith, preferences and interests.

Robert Grant is one of the heroes of the novel and the youngest son of Captain Grant. Brother of Mary Grant. A brave and inquisitive boy. He also went with his wife Glenarvan and his sister in search of his father. While on the Duncan, he wished to learn seamanship. His behavior is commendable, and the lord tells him that he will become a grown man at an age when others are still children. The boy’s courage arouses his admiration and binds him to himself, especially since Glenarvan feels personal responsibility, having agreed, albeit at the insistence of the optimist Paganel, to Robert’s participation in climbing the Andes, which he was unable to do.
