Explanation:
Aronnax was a teacher who was traveling on a ship in order to remove a horrendous creature from the sea that was causing great damage in this environment. He wanted to free the seas from this freak. However, upon encountering the creature, his ship is attacked and damaged, making it impossible for them to continue their journey until the ship is repaired. While waiting for the repair, Aronnax is kidnapped by a submarine and remains prisoner of the crew that is there.
When Aronnax hears that his ship has returned to the sea and all his chances of escaping the submarine have been lost he is disappointed.
