According to me, secret agents in books and films look quite different. They usually wear a headgear (a cap or a hat), a long coat and gloves on their hands. They are usually portrayed with black goggles. They are quite sharp and intelligent. In the given plot when Fowler, a young writer, met Ausable,...

According to me, secret agents in books and films look quite different. They usually wear a headgear (a cap or a hat), a long coat and gloves on their hands. They are usually portrayed with black goggles. They are quite sharp and intelligent. In the given plot when Fowler, a young writer, met Ausable, he was very disappointed because Ausable didn't fit into the description of a secret agent. His appearance was quite different. He was a dull, fat man who knew French and German languages but had a predominant American accent in his speech.

 

 

There are many books and movies which portray detectives as very different from what Ausable has been portrayed in this plot. We can refer to Sherlock Homes or James Bond for that matter to highlight the contrast well.

Secret agents in fiction are projected like ideal men. ‘Tall, dark and handsome’. They are usually well-built and keep beautiful women for company.  They would smoke a pipe (like Sherlock Holmes) or a cigar and execute death-defying  stunts (like James Bond). Movies based on James Bond show hi-tech gadgets which assist the detective in countering villains. However, there are some exceptions to this appearance of a secret agent also.  A character named Feluda was created by Satyajit Ray, the famous Bengali filmmaker. Feluda was a tall athletic figure who relied on his superb analytical ability and observation skill.
