"Mysterious Island" — "robinsonade". "Robinsonades" are works that tell how a person coped with the most unfavorable conditions, meeting one-on-one with wildlife. This is exactly what happens to the heroes of the "Mysterious Island".
They manage not only to survive, but also to organize a working life on a previously lifeless island. The team that has emerged pleases the reader not only with its successes, but also with the friendship that has brought together very different people. No reader has ever had any doubt that the leader on the "Mysterious Island" is Cyrus Harding. Everyone who was on this island was sure of the same. This is how the personality of a leader is determined: by a person's unwillingness to command, but by the fact that others, without hesitation, agree with him and make his decisions. Readers' ratings of heroes are not always the same. However, when discussing the qualities of the heroes who found themselves on a mysterious island, opinions often coincide: they all seem to be equally attractive people precisely because they managed to become a friendly team. The ability to be friends, a reliable sense of the elbow provide them with such an assessment. Those who love technology, pay special attention not to the hero of the novel, but to the technical solutions themselves. On the island, the heroes have dozens of responsibilities and many fields of activity appear: construction, invention, care of plants, animals, cooking, household arrangement… And everyone can master any of them, but usually loves only some. For example, Herbert, whose predilections have not yet been determined, tends to help his friends in any work. The easiest way is to decide that friendship on this lost island helps everyone to keep the consciousness that they are alone in this boundless ocean and no one else can help them. But besides that, the personal qualities of each of the community members play a big role: the bright organizational talent of Cyrus Harding, the strength and devotion of his servant, the Negro Neb, the inexhaustible energy of the journalist Gideon Spilett, the skills of a sailor that Pencroft possessed, the youthful enthusiasm of Herbert. However, it is also possible to designate their common property — decency and a sense of mutual revenue. Most often, an oral portrait is created for his peer Herbert. But this task has been criticized more than once, because among the names of the heroes of the novel there is no Captain Nemo — a brilliant Indian scientist.
Namely, he plays a huge role in all the mysteries that are connected with this island. The portrait of Herbert is most often recreated by girls who are ready to draw him according to ideal canons: slender, swift, easy in movements, smart, bold. The sailor Pencroft can be considered the second most popular hero, since the appearance of a sailor is most often associated with a sailor uniform, which is not difficult to imagine: a vest, bell-bottomed trousers, a special headdress. Those who demanded to include Captain Nemo in the gallery of portraits also described him, recalling the novels not of Jules Verne, but of Alexandre Dumas: draped in some special clothes and very mysterious.
"- Are we going up?
— What's there! Let's go down!"
The question probably belongs to Mr. Cyrus. Probably, he asks not so much because he cannot assess the situation himself, but because he seeks to make everyone be extremely attentive to what is happening. Maybe he's even trying to calm down his companions somewhat. But the answer, judging by his determination, most likely belongs to the sailor Pencroft, because he could assess the situation over the roaring sea faster than others. However, the question may also belong to Spilett, who, as a journalist, always strives to assess the situation faster. Among the works of Jules Verne, "The Mysterious Island" occupies a special place. Although it is included in the trilogy of the writer's best novels, it is still different in that it is slightly related to the topic of underwater navigation, a little — with aeronautics, a little — with the use of electrical energy. All this variety of problems and questions is understandable — we are facing another "robinsonade". And "robinsonades" require solving many problems. But most of all they remember this novel when they talk about how good the world can become when people manage to live peacefully on it. Precisely because a small collective of the inhabitants of the island managed to create their own world of workers, this novel is called a utopia.
Reference. Utopia — this word has two meanings: 1) a place that does not exist; 2) a blessed place. The word itself began to denote an ideal society when Thomas More created a book about life on a fabulous island, which he called Utopia.
