In the beginning of the story, Edmond was a cheerful and nonchalant guy with nothing to value but his position as captain of the Pharoan, friend’s loyalty, Mercedes’ love, and his father. However, after enduring 14 years of treacherous mental and physical pain had taught him to forget those things and to value something else. Now, the Count of Monte Cristo values nothing but revenge to those who betrayed him, knowledge and power, “During those hours of meditation, which flowed by like seconds, he formed a terrible resolution and swore a fearful oath…’I regret having helped you clarify your past and having told you what I did’…Because I’ve instilled in your heart a feeling that wasn’t there before: vengeance” (Dumas 58). After arriving to an epiphany that Fernand, Villefort, and Danglar

The Story of Edmond Dantès, the Sailor, who Becomes the Rich & Powerful Count of

Background: In the book The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas, there are incredible amounts of drama and conflict. All the conflict started when Captain Leclair died. Dantes was going to be given his position on the ship until Fernand, Villefort, and Danglars staged him for sending secret letters to Napoleon to overthrow king Henry. Claim: The punishment of the characters Danglars, Villefort, and Fernand from the book The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas were really not god 's punishment for what happened to Edmond Dantes. I think that Edmond Dantes should be held against the actions that he performed on these three characters because even though they did ruin Dantes future and force him into life imprisonment, I think that

Revenge is a dangerous tool. To seek vengeance against someone only causes more destruction. “Two wrongs never make a right.” In the ‘Cask of Amontillado’, the narrator, Montresor, had killed Fortunato for revenge. In that case, Fortunato had done something extremely brutal and vile to Montresor for him to commit homicide. In my perception, I believe that Fortunato and Montresor had past problems. The very first sentence of the short story gives away Montresor's justification for revenge. However, we are not told what Fortunato had done. Altogether, revenge can never be accounted for, especially in this scenario. Every time someone considers revenge as an option, an indirect message stating ‘I do not care about you’ will be conveyed to another.

“. . . Vulnerability is the core of shame and fear and our struggle for worthiness, but it appears that it’s also the birthplace of joy, of creativity, of belonging, of love” (Brown 12:29). According to sociologist Brené Brown who specializes in vulnerability, exposing oneself can lead to happiness. Real life events illustrate this principle. Becoming vulnerable allowed Erik Fitzgerald to forgive a man who committed a life-altering crime that seemed inexcusable. Literary works also exemplify this concept. In Alexandre Dumas’ disguise and justice novel The Count of Monte Cristo, main character Edmond Dantés exposes himself and leaves the past behind which allows himself to find a new joy. Vulnerability and not being afraid to expose oneself can lead to true happiness, although it also exposes one’s weaknesses and insecurities. Because of this , some prefer to keep a wall around them to avoid shame and unnecessary suffering that often comes with vulnerability.

After he got his treasure with Jacopo, Edmond start the Revenge by act to a wealthy person and revenge those people hurt one by one at a time. So when Edmond executed revenge to king assistance, which is good thing but the effect was bad because it’s cause his whole family to died and he’s kind of Remorseful, but he’s still want to revenge Danglar and Fernand, Fernand was the last one that Edmond want to revenge and he’s successful, but after all of his work is just done for the goody of his self and don’t think the effect and the cause to everyone around it. That’s why Edmond was a criminal

Count of Monte Cristo was heartbroken, but he got Fernand into court and got him to confess that he did put Count of Monte Cristo into prison. Fernand's son Albert challenged Count of Monte Cristo into a dual and Mercedes realized that it was Edmon Dantes and she begged him not to kill him, but Count of Monte Cristo said that he will let Albert kill him. When they got to the woods where they were going to dual Albert said I will not dual with you because he found out that his dad Fernand sent Count of Monte Cristo to prison for 14 years and he said you were innocent going to the prison and that you suffered their for 14 years and said that he forgives

Edmond Dantes was a simple and humble sailor who fell victim when his jealous partners frame him towards a political situation. Surrounded by tragedies during his imprisonment, such as his only companion, Abbe Faria, dying along with his aging father starving himself to death. Prison changes him however, entering an honest man and exiting as a resentful one. He becomes the Count of Monte Cristo when he goes to an island that Faria described to him and finds treasure. He becomes the Count of Monte Cristo because with all his millions, he can purchase anything he wants and can get revenge and punish his greedy colleagues.

In order to do this, Dantes states that he must change the course of his life in order to complete what he believes is God’s will by leaving behind the happy life of Edmond Dantes and becoming the Count, a nearly invincible man accustomed to suffering and pain. Before he embarks on his journey as the Count, he says goodbye to the life he once had by saying, “...farewell to kindness, humanity, and gratitude. Farewell to all sentiments that gladden the heart. I have substituted myself for Providence in rewarding the good; may the God of vengeance now yield me in His place to punish the wicked” (131). By saying goodbye to “kindness, humanity, and gratitude,” Dantes shows that he does not believe he can experience happiness until his vengeance is carried out, and that forming close relationships with other people will only get in the way of his goal.

Fernand lies to many people of his status, not yet fooling the Count, who proceeded to call him out as Fernand rather than Morcerf (Dumas 393). “‘Fernand!’ Roared Monte Cristo. ‘One of my names is enough to strike terror into your heart, but I don't have to tell you what it is, do I? You've already guessed it, haven't you’” (Dumas 393)? “Just as the carriage was passing beneath the arch of the gate, a shot rang out and dark smoke floated out through one of the bedroom windows, which had been shattered by the force of the explosion” (Dumas 394-395). When Edmond calls out Fernand, he doesn't just tell him who he is, but he also calls him out, stating how he wasn't who he was supposed to be. The Count jabs at Fernand, saying how he is supposed to be a soldier, bound by the law, who exhibits honor, trust and loyalty. The Count knows that he was not doing any of these

The Counts mission is to put revenge on the people who locked him in a prison and to help the people who helped him. The Count of Monte Cristo’s opinion about death and revenge is that instead of the people that have suffered for a very long time shouldn't die as quick, the person that committed the crime should be tortured and should slowly painfully die."Because I have insinuated a feeling into your heart that was not previously there: the

Even though, the Count tried to become a new person both physically and mentally, the old Edmond Dantes still interfered with his actions. When Morrel comes to the Count and tells him about Valentines poison, the Count thinks nothing of it, but as soon as Morrel told the Count that he loves Valentine, old Edmond Dantes shines through. When Valentine and the Count converse in chapter sixty-one, the Count remarks, “I have not closed my eyes for an instant during the last four nights; for the last four nights I have been watching over you to protect and preserve you for our friend Maximilian” (Dumas, 526). This shows that the Count did not really care for Valentine, but as soon as a loyal family friend as the Morrel’s asked for his help, Edmond Dantes stepped up and would do anything to lend a helping hand. Also, after the Count and Mercedes talk with each other, and Mercedes convinces Edmond not to kill her son, the Count starts to reflect and

The thoughts of Edmond Dantés help us see how he turned from a naïve, loving young man to a revengeful, deceitful older man and back to a more loving mature man that has witnesses too much to be naïve. The statement, “Enemies? No, I’m not important enough to have made any.” followed by, “But if these envious people are among my friends, I’d rather not know who they are, because then I’d be forced to hate them.” show how naïve Dantés was in the beginning. Both of the statements were said during the interrogation with Villefort. Even though Villefort has told and explained the reasons why one of his friends could have framed him, he (Dantés) still chose to believe that his friends would never do such things. The statements, “...he renewed the oath of vengeance against Danglars, Fernand and Villefort which he had already sworn in prison.” and the later statement, “I have substituted myself for Providence in rewarding the good; may the God of vengeance now yield me His place to punish the wicked!” show his transition in becoming a revengeful person. On page 393 it says, “In Paris you call yourself the Count of Monte Cristo; in Italy, Sinbad the Sailor; in Malta- God knows what!” which

In the beginning Dantes fell in love with a woman name mercedes and he loved her with all his life he would do anything for her. He was to be married to her but, unfortunately he was arrested before he was to be wed. Mercedes said she would wait as long as she had to ¨I love edmond Dantes,¨ replied the girl coldly,¨and no other man will ever be my husband.¨(mercedes p.12) but,eventually she gave up and married her cousin Fernand. At the time she didn't want to really marry fernand ,but it was a last chance she thought dantes was never coming back. She wanted a family so she married fernand, moved and had a kid named Albert. Edmond waited in prison and when, he finally escaped he heard the news that mercedes had gotten married to Fernand. Dantes was very upset but, he still wanted to find mercedes and get revenge on fernand.
