Jules Verne is a French novelist who wrote a lot of books with great characters. Most of his protagonists were kind hearted people with high morals. And Cyrus Smith from the novel “The Mysterious Island” is not an exception.

Cyrus is the leader of the castaways, an intelligent and skilled man. He is described as a great engineer and inventor. Cyrus shows great leadership to his team, he helps them overcome all the difficulties by helping them build a home and create a new society on the island. Cyrus is a selfless, honest and a brave character. His knowledge and courage helped the castaways to get through the hardships of the island.

Overall, we can say that Cyrus Smith is one of the positive characters of Jules Verne. He was a great help to his team and in my opinion they wouldn't have survived without him.
