We believe that by following the suggestions above, readers will benefit immensely. Most of Jules Verne's works are humorous, lively, and easygoing, but The Wreck of the Titan is a tragic and harrowing tale. In the face of one disaster after another, the base, selfish, and cowardly side of human nature is indeed exposed. When the shipwrecked crew on the Titan start fishing with dead bodies and eating the remains of their deceased companions, a sense of sorrow fills one's heart. However, in the face of disaster, it is those who still uphold the noble and radiant qualities of humanity that truly survive. Faced with adversity, the brave and resolute first officer Cartis, the kind and responsible Miss Aubert, the pure and sincere Andre, the loving and selfless Monsieur Leladur, and I—these good people ultimately endure the hardships together and form a bond of life and death. Although this is a tragedy, what we still read from it is an inexhaustible hope and courage.
