Quote #4
Captain Nemo, red with blood, motionless near the searchlight, examined the sea which had swallowed up one of his companions, as large tears flowed from his eyes. (2.18.109)
Here we see true compassion on Nemo's part. Who is Nemo most sympathetic to and why?
Quote #5
Even on the occasions when our hearts have gone out to you, moved by some of your pain or your acts of genius or courage, we have had to hide all signs of the sympathy that comes from the sight of what is fine and good, whether displayed by friend or enemy. Well, it is this feeling that we are foreign to everything that concerns you which makes our position untenable. An impossible one even for me, but doubly impossible for Ned. Every human being, by the very fact of being human, is worthy of respect. Have you ever asked yourself what plans of vengeance could be engendered by the love of freedom and hatred of slavery in a nature like the Canadian's, what he could think or do? (2.19.58)
Nemo's own hatred for humanity, Aronnax suggests, is capable of fostering hate in others—even in our level-headed harpooner, Ned.
Quote #6
The enterprise had succeeded, and in its first telegram, young America sent old Europe wise words which are so rarely understood: "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will towards men." (2.20.31)
It's sad to think that a message of such hope and kindness is "so rarely understood." You have to wonder if Nemo is still capable of understanding those words.
