First published in 1845, The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas is a classic rags-to-riches revenge story. Edmond Dantès, wrongfully imprisoned for 14 years, returns with a cavern full of riches, a noble title as the Count of Monte Cristo, and a princess slave to exact revenge on his enemies.

Dantès’ reemergence can be seen in the following quote; “Exalted by the feeling of liberty, Dantès continued to cleave the waves in what he reckoned should be a direct line for the Isle of Tiboulen.”(Alexandre Dumas, 99) Dantès’ transition from life as Edmond Dantès, to the cunning and witty Count of Monte Cristo, can also be seen as apart of this metaphor for Baptism, where we see him leave behind his past life and values, for an improved personality

In the story of The Three Musketeers d’Artagnan compares and contrast quite well to David from the bible. In this paper that idea will be reflected so we can see how much they are alike and if they aren’t what it is that sets these two apart.
