The question of who can be considered a good or bad person at least once worried each of us. In real life, a person tends to be subjective, but, fortunately, the characters of many books lack this property. The author assigns his own type to each lyrical hero. Using the example of the heroes from the works of Jules Verne, we can trace this pattern. Captain Nemo is the main character of the work “Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea”. A strong-willed, tough, but at the same time compassionate person fighting for the equality of people. No matter how we interpret his actions, there are “noble ideas” and “striving for justice" in them. The second striking example is Jacques Paganel, one of the main characters of the novel “The Children of Captain Grant". Jules Verne himself uses the characteristic: “He knows how to see only the good in people and things,” hinting at a positive image of this character. Jacques Paganel's altruism and curiosity perfectly reflects his kind nature. Jules Verne is not the only writer who uses the types of good heroes, but his characters most vividly demonstrate to us how writers create the image of a positive hero.
