प्रश्न
Compare the remorse in the minds of Mr. Fogg and Aouda for the seeming failure of his wager.
उत्तर
Aouda is surprised at Mr. Fogg’s arrest. Her heart revolts when she sees that Fogg is being charged for robbery. She weeps bitterly as she can do nothing to save her protector. She is overwhelmed with grief at Mr. Fogg’s seeming failure of his wager. Mr. Fogg, on the other hand, feels guilty and blames himself for bringing misfortune to Aouda. He thought that he was rich enough to give her a free and happy life when he decided to bring Aouda from India. But since he lost the wager he had not a single penny left with him and had no riches to offer her. Thus, both feel guilt and remorse for each other’s misfortune.
