Captain Nemo is the most unusual and mysterious character in Jules Verne's adventure novels "The Children of Captain Grant", "Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea", "The Mysterious Island". He is disappointed with his life on the land and becomes a hermit living alone at the bottom of the ocean. Nemo is sure that here he will be able to find real freedom and has interest in life.

As far as I know, some people suppose that the Captain is a negative hero, but, I guess, he is not. Why?

Firstly, Nemo is a very clever person as he invents a unique Nautilus submarine. Except for that, the Captain speaks several languages fluently: French, English, German and Latin. Also, he really fond of geography, history and other sciences.

Secondy, he is impressed by masterpieces of literature, poetry, paintings and sculptures which he collected on Nautilus. Nemo even plays musical instruments perfectly.

Moreover, the Captain helps everyone who gets into trouble. For example, he saves the lives of the occupants of Crete from pirates and reports them about a volcanic disaster. This means that the Captain is unselfish and honest.

As a result, Nemo is a positive character. I find him determined and courageous because he doesn't give up living this way, but he tries to benefit the world as he believes that there are kind and sensitive people.
