He’s getting tired of looking at fish and eating nothing else day after day with the sack of meat, bread, and wine; it's hard for a Saxon to go without his beefsteaks and his dash of brandy or gin” (Verne 137). Land’s need for red meat got so intense that he half jokingly half not, talked about cannibalism saying to Conseil “I’m beginning to understand the charms of cannibalism!” which then inquidensely caused Conseil to yell back asking if he was sane, “and to think we share a cabin!” (Verne 145). Once able to get a chance to go ashore to hunt for food Ned Land’s insanity seemed to calm down. As this went on Aronnax again provided a different view on the food saying “the food on board seemed to agree with us marvelously, and as for me, I could easily have done without the variations Ned Land managed to bring on board in a spirit of protest” (Verne 180).

George Orwell England Your England As I write, highly civilized human beings are flying overhead, trying to kill me. They do not feel any enmity against me as an individual, nor I against them. They are ‘only doing their duty’, as the saying goes. Most of them, I have no doubt, are kind-hearted lawabiding men who would never dream of committing murder in private life.
