The Count Of Monte Christo

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

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

In the story, Edmond Dantès gets framed for treason causing him to get arrested and making him unable to get married to his betrothed, Mercédès. In prison, Dantès makes a vow to get revenge on the people

The concept of revenge is one very known to human nature. Most people are familiar with the desire to get payback, though often individuals choose not to act on it as it is often a more fleeting emotion than lasting fascination. Being such a relatable and commonplace affliction, this feeling is also central in many works of fiction. The Cask of Amontillado by Edgar Allan Poe and The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas both share a common plotline as they explore themes of betrayal, deception, and revenge. The protagonists, Montresor and Edmond respectively, both set out to seek revenge against those who they feel have done them wrong. The writing styles share a similar dark tone as the ideas of justice and deservingness are challenged through the characters’ actions.

Love is completely in the eye of the beholder. If one believes themselves to be in love, it’s most likely that they are. What one person may see as love, someone else may interpret entirely differently. In the novel, many characters show signs of being in love, some even flat out proclaiming their love. This statement from The Count of Monte Cristo makes it clear that Edmond and Mercedes are smitten: “The two lovers went on their way, as blissful as two souls rising up to heaven.” (Dumas 17). Mercedes and Edmond are a perfect example of a couple in love in the beginning of the book. They are planning to get married, and nothing would keep the two of them from being together. Even when Edmond gets taken away from Mercedes, he still speaks fondly of her: “I landed at Marseilles, quickly took care of all the formalities on board, then went to see my fiancée, whom I found more beautiful and loving than ever.”

Robert Johannsen’s book titled To the Halls of the Montezumas, with a subtitle that reads The Mexican War in the American Imagination. This is an accurate description of what the book is about, due in part to how Johannsen decided to write his book. His account of the conflict shows that for many American’s the war was more about “flair” than “substance.” It was a war that sparked the imagination of all Americans from the busy city centers of the Atlantic coast to the rural towns of the West. Johannsen puts forward that the press had a very important role to play in the Mexican American war. The book focuses on the media coverage of the conflict, rather than the military strategies and tactics. To make the book unique and to offer to the reader

In Robert Johannsen’s Book, To the Halls of the Montezumas, it is explained how the Mexican-American War was america’s first major foreign war. He believes that this war defined American people because of the use of new technologies to establish America as an international power. Americans felt as if, for the first time, they were fighting against a foreign power rather than simply fighting of land. Johannsen tells the story of this war through the eyes of the people instead of just telling us the facts. By doing this he gives us the opportunity to see how people of the time truly perceived the war and what factors influenced these perceptions.

The Count of Monte Cristo, the romantic novel which is written by Alexandre Dumas, tells a story about that the protagonist designs an elaborate revenge for his enemies after he escapes from the prison since they are the people who frame him by planning the conspiracy. This novel uses the experience of Edmond to claim its theme that people who only know how to be justice and kind could not have enough power to defend themselves unless they also know how to think rigorously and deal with the emergencies calmly.

The story is told as a first-person confession, possibly to a priest “who so well knew the nature of my soul.” The language is ripe with religious overtones. The action implies a death march, a procession to death designed to avenge insults suffered by Montresor and his ancestors. The drinking of wine, the ringing of bells, and the lighting of candles are all part of Montresor’s “black mass”. Fortunado, the unwittingly victim, becomes the sacrifice in a wholly un-Christian ceremony.

One specific character in the novel who exemplifies this theme is Mercedes De Morcerf. Although given a tragic hand in her life Mercedes continues to demonstrate her ability to wait and hope for her dreams and better circumstances. In fact, shortly after being introduced in the book she proves the inherent nature of this ability in a conversation with Fernand where she declares, " Yes, I will not deny it, I do await, and I do love him to whom you allude; and, if he does not return, instead of accusing him of the inconstancy which you insinuate, I will tell you that he died loving me and me only." In this quote from page 16, Mercedes insinuates that she has a sense of wait and hope about her life, currently her love life, as she patiently awaits her sweetheart home, and if he does not return she would still maintain the hope that he had sought to for her. Later in the book, after many of the tragedies, we meet Mercedes again, this time conversing with Dantes, who still wants to propose to her, but realizing she does not wish to hear
