Monte Cristo seeks revenge on Danglars by using the purser’s love of money as a means to his ruins as well as by causing his imprisonment, since Danglars is the initial conspirator for Dantes’ imprisonment. On the Pharaon, Danglers is the pursuer while Dantes is the first mate, and from the very beginning of the novel Danglars is extremely jealous of Dantes, for “he was as much disliked by the crew as Edmond Dantes was liked by them” (2). Danglars’ initial offense against Dantes is that, out of his jealousy, he not only tries “to breathe some evil insinuation against his comrade into the shipowner’s ear” (7), but also writes a letter to the king’s attorney, accusing Dantes of Bonapartist action, which Fernand later delivers.

For, Danglars does not care about anyone else’s honor or dishonor, since “it neither increases nor decreases [his] income” (365). Since Danglars is the “the guiltiest…the instigator” (106) against Dantes and convinces Fernand and Caderousse to join his conspiracy, he deserves the worst judgment from Monte Cristo; however, since the unexpected death of Edouard, Monte Cristo realizes that he may be acting out of line in accordance to God’s will and is going too far with his revenge plan. Thus, he shows mercy on Danglars in the hope that the Lord will show mercy on him. Therefore, concerning the extent of human and ultimate justice regarding his revenge on Danglars, Monte Cristo does not go to the same extreme of punishing Danglars as he initially plans, since, “having arrived at the summit of his vengeance after his slow and tortuous climb, he had looked down into the abyss of doubt”

Douglas Horton once said, "While seeking revenge, dig two graves - one for yourself". The Count of Monte Cristo, a truly captivating novel written by Alexandre Dumas, lives to tell the tale of a young French Sailor, Edmond Dantés, who is forced to spend fourteen years in prison due to the actions of his jealous enemies or so-called "friends". When he eventually escapes, he is left with the feelings of a strong hatred and a thirst for revenge which sets him up to be the man he develops into throughout the novel. Throughout the novel, the Count of Monte Cristo seeks relentless revenge on all of the people who had wronged him many years ago. Dantés, completely unrecognizable after being freed, became only a prisoner of himself due to his need

In The Count of Monte Cristo, one can see the unjust subjugation and imprisonment of Edmond Dantes for a crime he did not commit. While imprisoned for just over a decade, he becomes skilled
The main theme that is presented within The Count of Monte Cristo is that revenge and manipulation is easily able to hurt someone, but also benefit another. In this case, Edmond Dantès takes the side of benefit and those brought underneath his vengeance had been ruined. After a plan carefully schemed by three of his false friends, Dantes was thrown into prison and placed under a situation of betrayal and resentment. This long wait in the chateau d’If had put a need for revenge into Dantès head which had transformed him into the Count of Monte Cristo. Although the Count was considered bitter and cold, his seek for revenge had only benefitted him into a more creatively malicious character. Furthermore, this manipulation that Dantès had been put
One of the only truly dynamic character in The Count of Monte Cristo is Edmond Dantes and throughout the book he changes from the extremely loyal, kind and noble Edmond Dantes, to the cold, calculating and vengeful Count of Monte Cristo and then to a changed man with a little bit of both incarnations of him mixed together. In the beginning of the novel he works hard as a sailor on the Pharaon and when he arrives to Marseilles he is promoted to captain of the ship and is about to marry Mercedes a beautiful young lady. Then he is betrayed thrown into prison and held there for 14 years. In his prison cell is where he started to develop his sense of vengeance and wrath against those who got him thrown in jail forming a “terrible resolution” and swearing a “fearful oath.” (Count, 48) This was the beginning of Edmond’s slide into the vengeful state he is in for almost the entire rest of the book. He no longer cares about death as “who cares about that as long as he has had his vengeance.” (Count, 116) Now Edmond has become dangerous and determined and he won’t give up until his vengeance is wrought. Later though after the death of Edouard, the son of Villefort, he comes to the resolution that he has gone too far. He even forgives Danglars in the end saying “the man you condemned to die of hunger but who now forgives you because he himself needs to be forgiven.

Reason, logic, and pure thought are the compasses of humanity. Unfortunately, today no one even bothers to look at the compass or to ask for directions. The lack of logic and reason in our everyday decisions leads to the larger scale chaos that results from apathetic actions. Slowly, almost imperceptibly, as in Dante's case, we have slipped from our guide of Reason and shown pity to people, like Francesca and Paolo, who fall to carnal lusts, or to those like in the Wood of the Suicides. Like Dante, we are only too eager to hear their stories and report back to those above, still in the Dark Wood, of their fate. We feel as though the punishment which God, in His great Wisdom, has dealt out for them were unfair. And we fear for our own
In a society that claims to be better equipped to handle the needs of its people, there exist far too many instances in which it fails to do so. In a recent Senate hearing, Independent Senator Bernie Sanders exclaimed, “We a not a compassionate society!” at representative Tom Price (Sanders). This idea can be traced back to Alexandre Dumas’ portrayal of a similar society, featured in The Count of Monte Cristo, in which a kind, and innocent man, Edmond Dantes, is exploited for his kind and altruistic mannerisms. Dantes, the protagonist, is the first mate of the Pharaon a ship belonging to Morrel & Son.
The three people that Dantes swears vengance against are the Count de Morcerf, Baron Danglars, Villefort.
By his noble speech the reader learns that political corruption can damn a man's soul. The punished sinners who suffered death for political reasons are of paramount importance to Dante. Accordingly, he shows in the suicide's circle of hell the extreme consequences of failure in political life. Pier committed suicide for the shame of losing his favored position as Frederick's counselor. This illustrates the ancient Roman concept of honorable suicide, which protests any unjust action that robs one of reputation.
Perhaps the most foolish characters readers could come across in The Decameron were Friar Alberto and Monna Lisetta. Boccaccio masterfully parodied the Church by introducing Friar Alberto as a former con man who moved to Venice and became a priest: already, Boccaccio has criticized the vetting process for potential religious officials. Monna Lisetta, the next character introduced, is a vain, airheaded devotee of the angel Gabriel. By having these silly characters meet in a religious setting, Boccaccio mocked the Catholics of his day, especially once Friar Alberto used his credibility as a “man of God” to trick the gullible Monna Lisetta into having sex with “Gabriel,” who would be possessing the friar’s own body. Boccaccio could hardly be more derisive toward the Church than with this “tragic” story.
In Treasure and Vengeance, Justin Kaplan speaks about The Count of Monte Cristo in the highest regard. After a brief back story on himself, he quickly transitions into connecting it with the book itself. Kaplan claims that “in a singular sense, [Edmond’s] motive was disinterested: not the means to anything else and with no purpose other than its own fulfillment” (Kaplan). This is a key aspect in Kaplan’s criticism. He adds that his “revenge, driven by the festering sense of injustice” is what drives Edmond throughout the story (Kaplan). The whole story revolves around Dantès’ dire need to get revenge on Fernand, as well as others who have crossed him. In fact, the Count himself says that “for all evils there are two remedies - time and silence” (Dumas 523). His sole mission is to retaliate against Mondego, who was the cause of his wrongful conviction. He intends to get his revenge for his own needs
Everyday people seem change themselves in one way or another, but sometimes people change their appearance and personality to the point where those who were close to them, can not even recognize them in a crowd. The Count of Monte Cristo, by Alexandre Dumas, is a story of a sailor, Edmond Dantes, who was betrayed during his prime time of his life by the jealousy of his friends. Dantes is sent to prison where he spends countless years planning an escape with the help of a fellow prisoner. The prisoner informs Dantes that he knows where a treasure is that one man can not even dream about. Dantes friend then happens to die, leaving Dantes with the information of where the treasure is.
Edmond Dantès, the main character of The Count of Monte Cristo, is an innocent and unsuspecting young man who is thrown in jail by those who were jealous of him. Once Edmond escaped, he changed his identity to the Count of Monte Cristo, and plotted a harsh revenge against his enemies. At the beginning, he said “Happiness is like one of those palaces in fairy tales whose gates guarded by dragons: we must fight in order to conquer it.” (Dantes 18) He thinks that his marriage with Mercédès is too good to be true, according to his statement. As it turned out, it was, and he was put in prison for fourteen years, and it was fifteen years before he saw her again. The only thing Edmond sought after he escaped from jail was revenge. So he took
