Comparison of Language and Style in Passages from Verne’s “Around the World in Eighty Days” (1873) and Theroux’s “The Great Railway Bazaar” (1977)
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 4 page paper discussing language and style used in passages from Jules Verne’s “Around the World in Eighty Days” (1873) and Paul Theroux’s “The Great Railway Bazaar: By Train Through Asia” (1977). A comparison of travel logs while in the city of Bombay as described in Jules Verne’s “Around the World in Eighty Days” (1873) and Paul Theroux’s “The Great Railway Bazaar: By Train Through Asia” (1977) shows two different accounts in language, style and impressions. Verne’s central character Phileas Fogg is a formal 19th century English gentleman and his account reflects this. The language of the passage and the style show the rigidity of Fogg’s character through the use of effective similes and the fact that he passed through Bombay with indifference. Theroux’s account is vastly different in that he presents a somewhat more informal language and style in first person narrative and at times addresses the reader directly. However, his account of Bombay is so filled with emotions, impressions and comparisons that the reader is also left without an adequate travel description of the city. Each account is enjoyable for readers despite the vast difference in language and style and readers also learn a great deal about the writer’s intention and background. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
