Analysis of Style and Structure- Section 2 (amarachi)

Theme

A major theme in the novel is Man versus Nature.
There is both a conflict with Aronnax and Nemo as well as Nemo and himself. Aronnax is a "naturalist" and he has to decide between his own love of science and his friend. Nemo, has gained a lot of power by openly resisting to nature. He must put together his power and his humanity.
There is another theme in the novel as well, but it is more of a minor theme, and it is payback or revenge.
Captain Nemo consistently mentions that he is seeking vengance for injustice he occured while he was on land.

Quotes:
Captain Nemo: "It is not new continents the earth need, but new men."
Pierre Aronnax: " So it was a sad day I spent, between my wish to regain freedom and my regret at saying goodbye to the marvelous Nautilus."
