The Count Of Monte Cristo Research Paper

WILLIAM stood in the doorway watching Catherine, Susan, Mary, and Annaliese’s mother bundle James and Annaliese. The women slowly and methodically sewed the couple into separate bundles. In the morning, Mary and Annaliese’s mother would inspect the bundles to make sure that the soon-to-be husband and wife hadn’t torn open the seams. If they did, they would put their relationship at risk; Mary would call off the wedding if she determined that her prospective daughter-in-law was a harlot willing to succumb to lust outside of wedlock.

Christophe develops this guilt because he believes if he had done things differently, the family would still be alive. This becomes evident when he states, “this is my fault. I did order the gates closed, fearing an unseen enemy […] Why didn’t I leave the gates open for stragglers? What if there are more out there, frozen in the snow? What did I do in my haste and fear? Sick with guilt, I can barely keep myself up. I’m responsible for that family” (Boyden 399). Identical to Anna May, Christophe was also forced to endure his guilt through the dreams that haunt him. This is clear when he states, “when I sleep, it’s fitful, and I see Satan’s face peering in my window, looking down at me and grinning” (Boyden 399). Christophe finally begins to

Aunt Reed, takes him to a special church meeting when he is twelve, “to bring the young lambs to the fold.” The singing, preaching and praying in the crowded church makes for a highly charged religious environment. All the children who “have not yet been brought to Jesus” are made to sit in the front row so that the rest of the congregation can pray for them. Young Hughes and another little boy, Westley, are left after all the other children get saved. Westley eventually decides to get saved because he is tired of sitting at the center of attention. Hughes takes a while longer because he expects to physically see Jesus – to see a light and feel something inside, just like Aunt Reed had described to him. Nothing happens. The pressure on Hughes to get saved intensifies as the preacher and his aunt urge him on. He realizes that he is holding up the whole service and feels ashamed of himself. He conforms to mob psychology by pretending to go to Jesus even though he is convinced that the other children are lying about it.

It was a bright cold day in Salem, where the sun seeped through overcast skies above and the mist danced around in the street. The wind hissed and howled, and swept through the narrow streets. In the centre of the town, stood the proud house of Reverend Parris. But that day, Reverend Parris was not a proud man as the accusations of witchcraft drifted through the town, overwhelming him completely.

Book Two is trying to emphasize three important points that God wants us to understand. First, Book two wants individuals to know that God wants all men to be saved and for all men to believe in him and now and understand that God is real. Secound, important point that is made in this passage is individuals need to not have doubt in God only knowledge and belief in God and in the choices that he makes. Also, individuals need to not be selfish and only look out for themselves but these individusasl need to follow Gods wants and needs that he has for us. Third, important aspect of this passage is individuals need to not judge God and the choices he makes for us. Individuals need to trust in God’s decisions and most importantly have faith in God because God makes choices for a reason. We may not understand why he makes the choices he makes for us but sometimes God makes certain things happen in order to lead us down a different path that we ourselves did not think of but God knows it is a good choice for us.

St. Francis of Assisi was born on 1181 in Assisi with the name Giovanni di Bernadone. When he was baptized his mother named him after John the Baptist. His father though wanted a man of business and not a man of god, so his father named him Francesco. He was named Francesco because his father was obsessed with France. Francis grew up rich, because of his fathers wealth. He was the leader of a crowd who partied all night long. There is a quote from him where he said, “I lived in sin” during the times that he partied. Francis like his father wanted was good at Business, but what he really wanted to do was become a noble. His chance at becoming a noble came when Assisi declared war on Perugia, a nearby town. Most the Assisi troops were killed in the fight,

In chapter 5 the tone is an important part of the chapter and the whole story overall, it’s something that makes the story interesting and something that should be focused on throughout the story.

I read two books in the summer vacation - "The Count of Monte Cristo" and "The Joy luck Club". "The Count of Monte Cristo" is talking about that a sailor who name is Edmond Dantes will become the captain of pharaon and will also get marry with a pretty girl. Danglars and Fernand were jealous of the lucky of Edmond, and wrote a fake letter so Edmond was put into jail. When Edmond escaped from jail, he pretend the count of the Monte Cristo and began to revenge. Instead of "The Count of Monte Cristo", "The Joy Luck Club" was talking about the stories of four different Chinese women who immigrated to America and their daughters.

Ever since 1692 in the city of Salem, Massachusetts where the idea of “witch-hunts” originated, several groups across the world have been persecuted because of their race, religion, ethnicity, or other unsupported reasons. In Arthur Miller’s play, The Crucible, the witch-hunts that took place during Puritan times are specifically targeted and serve as the focus point throughout the course of the story. Aside from the main plot points of the play, Miller also comments on a period in the 1950s during the Cold War when people who were thought to have been communists were persecuted against and deemed guilty without substantial evidence. These so-called “witch-hunts” stemmed from periods of fear and racism, and people were victimized with no way to prove themselves. Based on the outcome of multiple historical events throughout the course of history, “witch-hunts” are not justified or needed to achieve justice or establish order in society. One prime example of a historical “witch-hunt” is the Negro Holocaust, a period in the late 1800s and early 1900s where African Americans were lynched by white people based on their skin color.

Although in the novel, Monsieur de Villefort is seen as the worst villain, others may say Danglars, and Fernand, are the worst villains. In The Count of Monte Cristo, Edmond Dantes is living life unbelievably at age nineteen, “he’ll marry the girl, become captain of the Pharaon and have the laugh on all of us...unless I take a hand in things” (16). Danglers is going to get in the way of Dantes and try to ruin his life. Danglars and Fernand “were jealous of him, one because of love and the other because ambition,”(104) Fernand wishes to love Mercedes, who is in love with Edmond Dantes, and Danglars is jealous with ambition.

Thesis Statement: Arthur Miller conveys of the theme of jealousy by how it can ruin lives by abigail was jealous of elizabeth proctor Also John Putnam is moved by jealousy by he is jealous of others people's property.

Revenge is always one of the most popular literature themes. Alexandre Dumas’ The Count of Monte Cristo, is a novel about a successful revenge.I like it very much because there’s nothing can be more excited than seeing your enemies fall to the hell. Monte Cristo is powerful and mysterious, his innocence makes the revenge game more rightful.

Should The Count of Monte Cristo be included in the standard high school curriculum? The Counte of Monte Cristo is a novel created by author Alexandre Dumas. The book is about a man named Edmond Dantes who is a pleasant life awaiting him until he is betrayed by those he thought was his friends. To answer the question in the first sentence, yes, The Count of Monte Cristo should be included in the standard high school curriculum in America. Firstly Dumas’s book creates an exciting experience for readers and would be a great addition to the high school curriculum. Secondly it provides a moral that pure revenge does not satisfy a person, it makes them no better than the ones who he or she has taken revenge upon. And finally this book is not long,

In the book The Castle of Otranto the people of the castle are surrounded by unexplainable events. These events are in most cases damaging to one’s own mind. Those who are seen as great and loving are turn in to violent and unpredictable individuals. Those who were affected include the highest level of nobility, down as far as to the simple servant. While denial is shown by them there is no doubt that they have changed, and only in disastrous ways. Weather the person has good intentions or not they are changed and their intention becomes what they do. A corrupt power which cannot be stopped. People may try to help and form the person to their former self but in The Castle of Otranto this is not the case. When people react to unexplained
