प्रश्न
Winning the heart is preferred to the winning of wager. Express by supporting the details.
उत्तर
Before undertaking a trip around the world, Fogg lived a lonely life. He was detached from society and did not care about what people thought of him. However, by the end of the trip, Fogg realizes the significance of human connection. In Passepartout, he finds a loyal and trustworthy friend and in Aouda, a wonderful and charming partner. Thus, through his many adventures, he gains an understanding and appreciation of interpersonal relationships, which he never had before and considers this to be his greatest reward from the trip.
The ending of the novel is unexpected and leads to a sudden twist of events, which results in Fogg winning the bet. However, Fogg realizes that the long and dangerous journey that he has undertaken has been worthwhile, not because he won the bet, but because it led him to Aouda. Thus, through the ending, it is conveyed life holds more meaning than mere worldly desires and that sometimes, the prize is the hearts we win.
