Edmond Dantes Essay
Finding His Father
At sea on a long voyage of about three years, Edmond Dantes is finally able to come back home to France. Dantes returns back to France hoping to see his father and fiancée but doesn’t see what he had hoped too. Once Dantes arrived to France he was immediately jumped on by his fiancée Mercedes. The two were so excited to see each other. After a few minutes of being with Mercedes, Dantes asked, “Where is my father?” Mercedes was slow to begin, not knowing what to say.

The two both came to a conclusion that if they were ever going to be able to find him that it would be where the slaves were being held to be sold in the forest.
