Hey, do you know how meanings change in time?

Sometimes things that used to be obscene are now quite normal: "penis" used to mean "tail" in ancient Latin, but it started getting used as an obscenity. Today, because it's Latin, it's just the non-exciting name for the thing.

At other times, things that used to be normal are now read differently? Like the Flintstones having "a gay old time".

So. I've been reading Jules Verne lately.

I don't recommend him, because he's: a) a writer of geography masquerading as an adventure novelist; b) repeating all the racist beliefs of the day with absolutely zero awareness that people far away are still people; c) the quintessential "this is how old writers wrote women" author. (Most authors tend to see them as people, but not Jules Verne!) d) he doesn't do characters.

HOWEVER. In "In Search of the Castaways", I came across something that probably read as an amusing anecdote to contemporaries, but today it looks like heavy-handed gay symbolism.

The story of the book is this: a message in a bottle is found. Captain Grant has been shipwrecked somewhere on the 37th parallel in the Southern Hemisphere, and a group of Scotsmen led by a noble and brave Scottish laird go search for him. They're joined by the distracted Jacques Paganel, a brilliant French geographer who boarded the wrong ship.

Together they cross Patagonia and Australia, and when they reach New Zealand, they get captured by a Māori tribe. Paganel manages to escape, only to be captured by a different tribe than everyone else. When he gets reunited with everyone else, he's very reluctant to explain what happened. He's fine; he's talkative and his usual self when the topic is anything else, but he's absolutely not willing to talk about his time in captivity in any detail.

Finally, his friends learn this:

the chief of that tribe took an instant liking to him

he was greeted by the chief rubbing his nose against him

the chief bound him to himself with ropes

and those ropes were *especially binding* at night

but finally, Paganel escaped

I mean... I'm not the only one snickering, right? This looks like a walk of shame.

Anyway, the crew returns to Scotland. They're all heroes, including Paganel, who's courted by many women. He likes one, but he's very, very reluctant to marry her. He feels that he's "unworthy" of her. He simply can't marry her! Because of a great secret!

A friend finally pries the secret out of him: Paganel got a tattoo in New Zealand. It's of a giant kiwi with wings outstretched, digging its beak into his heart.

Friends. FRIENDS. I'm quite sure a "kiwi" wasn't another name for a New Zealander back in the day, but omg. If I did this in a book, people would accuse it of being so transparent it might as well not be symbolic at all.

I highly doubt this is what Jules Verne meant with that scene (he was probably just throwing in a bit of humor), but omg. It reads very differenly in the 21st century. I found it a bit funnier than the author intended, I'm sure.

I started a collection:)

The illustrations show Otto Lidenbrock, Jacques Paganel, Horace Paterson and Cousin Benedict. These are characters from different books by Jules Verne, but very similar in appearance and personality.

Prof. Paganel: Sometimes it’s so easy to get focused on your own stuff, that you forget other people have problems too.

Mary Grant: That’s really deep.

Prof. Paganel: Thanks. I feel like ever since I lost my phone, my other senses have kind of heightened.

Recently rewatched soviet adaptation of “In search of castaways” and couldn’t help myself drawing Jacques Paganel and Major McNabbs. I adore these dudes and their dynamic both in the movie and in the book
