Answer: Time acts like an unseen character — almost an opponent — because the whole plot is a race against the eighty-day deadline of Fogg’s wager.

Phileas Fogg bets £20,000 that he can travel round the world in eighty days, so every minute matters. Time constantly tests him through delays, storms, missed steamers and Fix’s arrest. Fogg calculates every day and hour in his notebook. In the end Time even plays a surprise role: by travelling eastward he gains a full day, and this unexpected gift wins him the wager.
