We see the Captain of the Nautilus abusing of this power, maybe because he did not have this much power in land, by literally escaping and attacking when the battle ship gets close. We can see the obvious advantage of the Nautilus its iron armor and the heavy artillery versus an only battle ship. We can not visualize much of his actions of revenge but we can clearly observe one, which is the battle of the Nautilus and the ship that comes to fight it. Captain Nemo seeks revenge against humanity. As we have seen Captain Nemo has respect for God but he does not show as much faith he has respect for Him. He holds Professor Aronnax and his companions because he does not trust them and God.

The Captain doesn't trust men more than he trusts God. He gives up trying to solve the problems he has and tries to escape them to the only place he feels safe: the ocean. He thinks problems on land could not be solved by God's divine providence. He creates the Nautilus so he can escape man on earth. The whole voyage is a giant example of this. Captain Nemo does not trust in God's providence. Because of his actions and beliefs, one knows he has respect for God as the Creator of all things. He also leaves everything untouched for he wants to keep things as they were.

He believes one must hunt for need and not for killing's sake. We see him protecting God's creatures, an example will be when he saves the whales from the cachalots and from Ned Land who tries to hunt them, also, the way he treats Aronnax and his companions is good considering he is a man who doesn't trust other men. It is evident that Capitan Nemo shows respect for God as the Creator. Although Captain Nemo shows respect for God as the Creator, he seeks revenge against humanity because he does not trust in God's Providence, that He can bring good out of evil if men trust Him. Professor Aronnax, a guest on the Nautilus for ten months, recounts the magnificent beauty of the ocean and comforts of daily life on the submarine as he tries to understand the complex character of Captain Nemo.

While men have traveled and explored the ocean for centuries, no one can imagine a world in the nineteenth century such as the one Captain Nemo builds in his underwater vessel, the Nautilus. Step inside an amazing submarine and explore the underwater world in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne.
