Detective Fix and Che Guevara (10)

After reading the novel, Around the world in 80 days, I thought that detective Fix was very much alike Ernesto Guevara. When detective Fix suspects Mr. Fogg as the bank robber just by matching him to the description of the robber, I felt that Fix was acting very foolishly like Guevara was in his earlier years. Because of Fix’s mistake in suspecting Mr. Fogg as the criminal, he ends up delaying the whole voyage and makes many obstacles for Mr. Fogg, Passepartout, and Aouda. Similarly in Motorcycle Diaries, Ernesto Guevara puts his troops at risk and ends up killing himself when he tries to start another revolution in Bolivia, believing that he could become a hero and savior of the people of South America.
