In the excerpt 'The Octopus,' the character that left the deepest impression on me is Professor Aaronak.
This character is the storyteller referred to as 'I' in the excerpt. He is a professor who loves exploring marine creatures. He vividly recounts the battle with the octopus, making it captivating.
Firstly, it's evident that Professor Aaronak is a person with extensive knowledge. The Nautilus dives deep two, three thousand meters and then surfaces about fifteen hundred meters from the sea level. Around 11 o'clock, Netty told Professor Aaronak about a terrifying creature among the algae. Upon hearing the story, he remained calm and unfazed. He shared a past story about the giant octopus: 'In 1861, north of Tenerife, around this latitude, the sailor of the Alecton ship discovered a giant octopus swimming along the route. Captain Bouguer ordered the ship to approach the creature, firing various guns, but in vain, as the sharp spear and bullets passed through the octopus like a solid block of flesh...'
The detailed descriptions of the creature show that Aaronak is very knowledgeable about this species: 'It was about eight meters long. It swam backward towards the ship. Its eyes were grayish-blue, staring straight without blinking…'. For him, encountering the octopus is a stroke of luck; he doesn't want to miss the opportunity to study it thoroughly and overcomes his fear to sketch it with a pencil. This also indicates that Aaronak is a true scientist, passionately dedicated to exploration.
But not only that, he is also someone who goes all out for his comrades. When Captain Nemo commanded the sailors to be ready for battle against the octopus, Professor Aaronak, along with fellow companions Constructo and Netty, joined in aiding. He exchanged ideas with Captain Nemo about the battle. When Netty was knocked down by an octopus, Professor Aaronak rushed in to save his injured friend.
Thus, through Professor Aaronak's narrative, the battle with the octopus emerges as both interesting and captivating. Along with that, this character also sparks enthusiasm for exploration and scientific curiosity in each person.
