Q.5 (C) (I) Describe the importance of ‘Reform Club’ in the development of the plot in the novel ‘Around The World in Eighty Days.’
Best answer
Answer: The Reform Club in Pall Mall, London, is where the whole adventure begins and ends — the wager is made there and Fogg has to return there in time to win it.
Phileas Fogg spends his precise, regular life at the Reform Club. While discussing the bank robbery with fellow members (Stuart, Fallentin, Sullivan, Flanagan and Ralph), he claims the world can be travelled round in eighty days and bets £20,000 on it. He must be back in the club’s saloon by 8.45 p.m. on Saturday, 21st December. The climax takes place there, when Fogg walks in at the exact moment and wins the wager.
