In Jules Vern 's, Around the world in Eight Days, the antagonist possesses much more than simply being the bad guy in pursuance of the protagonist to impede their cliché happy ending.

For example, while in India, Fogg stumbles upon a village in which a ritual sacrifice of a widow is taking place, despite sacrifice being illegal under the British crown.
