Answer 1

Detective Fix can be termed as an antagonist in the novel. He is a one of the detectives sent by the Bank of England in order to catch the robber who robbed fifty-five thousand pounds. He is short height-ed and very impatient. He thinks that Phileas Fogg is the robber because the description of the robber matches description of Mr. Fogg. At first, he creates hurdles in Fogg's journey when Mr. Fogg is on British soil. But when Mr. Fogg is not on British soil he removes hurdles from Fogg's journey because his warrant is of no use when Fogg is not on British soil. Fix tries to be on the best terms with Passepartout because he wanted more information about Fogg from the valet. Later he recieves a thrashing from Passepartout. He did a great mistake in imprisoning Mr. Fogg. When he releases Mr. Fogg from prison, Mr. Fogg pushes hits him and Fix fell on the ground. Although he imprisoned Mr. Fogg, Mr. Fogg forgives him because he was just doing his duty.
