    "The Count Of Monte Cristo" by Alexandre Dumas. What are the lines which you thought were significant to the ongoing theme of "The Count of Monte Cristo?" Why did you think that?

    One line that I thought was pure ingenuity from the author was when he wrote one-liners in this novel that seemed to foreshadow the oncoming events and add onto the theme of the story. One of these lines were, "Hatred is blind, anger is foolhardy, and he who pours out vengeance risks having to drink a bitter draft." This line was very powerful in the sense that it foreshadows the series of events that occurs within the book. Edmond Dantes, the main character of the book, was stripped of his innocence by 3 conspirators, which he had called friends, and was sent off to Chateau d'If, an infamous jail in which the worst criminals go. He miraculously escaped, became wealthy, and sought vengeance against these 3 men who had taken his youth and innocence and turned it into something horrible... the Count of Monte Cristo, the sly, vindictive, mysteriously wealthy character which everyone is humbled by because of his simple fashion and mystique. He speaks with his ex-fiance's son's friend, Franz, who warns Dantes ahead of time that everything that goes around comes around. This line means that if one seeks to have his revenge, he shall get the disadvantages of what he does. Dantes is still "blinded by hatred," and says that only the poor and inept may pay for their discrepancies, but the rich and clever are the ones that will always reap the benefits. He learns later on in the book that his theory was not veritable in any sense, for he had a great deal of remorse and regret for what he had done and wanted to punish himself. But Haydee, his loyal servant, had loved him greatly, no matter what he had done, and gave him a reason to live, a reason to seek penance from God through living and repent throughout his life. He found out that what his former friend had told him would be what he needed to hear in the end.…

    Edmond Dantes’ life started to become everything that he wanted it to be. He was loved by a beautiful woman, named Mercedes, to whom he was to be married. He as well became captain of a ship named The Pharaon, owned by Morrel and Son. Dantes also had many people in his life that he considered his friends.

Baron Danglars was Dantes’ fellow crew member on the Pharaon and became Dantes’ shipmate when he became captain.

    Perseverance In The Count Of Monte Cristo

    The overall theme of The Count of Monte Cristo is perseverance and the determination to let justice do its righteousness. Perseverance (the ability to achieve a success that has been so long persisted) is mentioned in the book when Dantes had been suffering for fourteen years in prison and yet still persisted on living even though he had contemplated death a series of times (Dumas 42). He had to avenge those whom had wronged him and he ended up doing so (he spared the life of Danglars when the roman bandits had captured him for several days) towards the end of the novel (Dumas 522). The character of Edmond Dantes takes on a series of challenges that he had overcome with the help of his cell mate, Faria, he had given all the riches to Dantes…

    Count of Monte Cristo

    While drinking with Ferdinand and Caderousse, Danglar began thinking about Dantes and how, “He’ll marry the girl, become captain of the Pharaon and have the laugh on all of us unless- unless I take hand in things” (13). Driven by greed and jealously Danglar came up with a master plan on how Dantes could be sent away and that would give him the window of opportunity to be the captain. He sent a letter that alleged Dantes of being a Bonapartist while the monarchs were in charge. As an outcome, Dantes was in prison for fourteen years. The impact of being imprisoned for such a long time made drastic impact of Dantes’s life. Dantes lost his father who died while he was in jail due to starvation. He lost his fiancée Mercedes, as well as his freedom and his…

    Tale Of The Holy Grail Analysis

    The opera opens with Gurnemanz, who is a veteran Grail Knight, and four other Grail Knights sleeping outside in a clearing in the woods. When they wake up, they prepare a bath for Amfortas, the current King of the Kingdom of the Grail. Amfortas has an ailment, but it can only be soothed by a “blameless fool.” Kundry arrives, a woman who apparently brings fortune wherever she goes. Amfortas explains that Amfortas’s father, Titurel, was entrusted with the Holy Grail, the vessel that caught Jesus’s blood, and the Lance of Longinus. A magician, Klingsor, wanted to enter the temple that Titurel made, but was refused. In retaliation, Klingsor made a garden of seductive maidens, and was thus the ruin of many noble knights. Amfortas had lost the Lance of Longinus when he was wounded in the attack against Klingsor’s…

    Count of Monte Cristo Character Analysis

    In the novel The Count of Monte Cristo, I read many events unfold. Edmond Dantes was a very happy and honest man. He has the perfect life, or so it seemed. On the day he was to be betrothed to Mercedes, three men tried to ruin his life. Dantes ended up in prison for fourteen years. Once he escaped prison, he sought revenge on those who lied to get him falsely accused of being a bonapartist agent. I think Edmond Dantes is the protagonist. He sees everyone for who they really are, he tries to get revenge while helping others, and he does not punish those who do not deserve it.…
