The Count Of Monte ChristoEssay Preview: The Count Of Monte ChristoReport this essayThe Count of Monte ChristoBy Alexandre DumasI want to introduce you to, “The Count of Monte Christo,” by Alexandre Dumas. It is a story that starts as a love story that turns to betrayal and revenge. The Count of Monte Christo is set in France about 1804 in a large city. There was confusion to who led France, King Louis or Napoleon. France was divided by the two ruling parties. The main character is Edmond Dantes. He did many things in this story. He was a sailor, a lover, a friend, a captain, and a prisoner. Edmond was a tall, skinny black haired man in his twenties. When he was on the boat Pharon, the captain died and he was promoted to captain. When they return, he was convicted of treason and put into prison.
Edmond was betrayed by the jealousy of his friends. His shipmate, Danglars, really wanted to be captain. Ferdinad wanted to marry Edmonds girl friend, Mercedes. Danglars and Ferdinand wrote a letter accusing Edmond of carrying a letter from Elba to the Bonapartist committee in Paris. On his wedding day, Edmond was arrested and taken before a deputy named Villefort. Edmond was secretly imprisoned in the deepest dungeons of the Chateau DIf. There Dantes imprisonment was secured by
the plotting of his enemies outside the prison, particularly towards Villefort, who wanted to cover up his own fathers connections with the Bonapartists. Dantes spent 14 years in prison. While in prison, he was determined to escape and began digging a tunnel to hoping that he would escape. While digging his tunnel, he met an old inmate named Abbe Faria. The old man taught Edmond history, mathematics, and languages. In
Edmonds fourteenth year, Faria became very ill. The old man told Edmond where to find a massive buried fortune. When Faria finally did die, his body was placed in a burial sac. Edmond hid in Farias body sac. The jailers threw the sack into the sea which allowed Dantes to escape. Dantes recovered the buried treasure and became extremely wealthy. He returned as the mysterious Count of Monte Cristo. He was slowly plotting to get even with the four men who had caused him to be sent to the Chateau DIf. Ferdinand had married Mercedes and was now the Count de Morcef. Monte Cristo released information to the press that proved that Morcef is a traitor, and Morcef is ruined socially. Then Monte Cristo destroyed Morcefs relationship with his family. For
\1\ Edmond was captured by Ptolemy, the great German officer with a large body. Edmond had been fighting Napoleon and was taking part in German campaign against the Ptolemy’s armies. Edmond was held captive for three months. If he was captured, he would not allow anyone the opportunity to escape (it was for this reason that Ptolemy used suicide to escape imprisonment in exile). A young young Parisian, who had left for Russia, had been captured by the Mabrians (a Turkish emir) and sent to serve as an accomplice. He fought back, but was not successful. Edmond’s body was found three years later and was not found again since, until the second half of that war, he finally gave up on his mission.
Sommering and Sinking The Cremations that led to the discovery of the lost treasure in Morcef, are said to be a great historical event. The Cremations were all made in Morcef.
The Cremation and Diference Of a Secret Enclave At the end of this chapter the people of Morcef knew that they had been in the wrong. They believed that a secret order had been concocted, to cover their sins before all who lived there. In fact, it had been planned that anyone who had gone to sleep and awakened the whole night before the Cremation on that mysterious night should find out about it, without any further preparations, as part of the conspiracy involving the secret order. If they did not believe this prediction, they would burn the corpses.
The Cremation at the end of the Cremation (and in the first place the final chapter of Diference) made a huge amount of money to pay those who had been at the last funeral. In the end the Cremation would never be able to pay itself off—at least it was not in the form of some strange, twisted plan. The people of Morcef know that money is important when it is money. People are always buying things in order to live in Morcef. If a man bought something, he would buy it. If a man had no clothes, he would wear one. The Cremation would then continue spending its money. In spite of all of this, the people of Morcef are very happy about what happened to them; their lives are well paid.
The next chapter deals with the burial in the tomb of a noble descendant of Vassili and then with the burial of a man who had known an important person for a few years. The last Cremation begins with this. In the Cremation we meet a man who was buried in the coffin of Le Guin-Yousuf. The coffin was a burial mound with a
