Quotation, page # Reaction/Response
Ch.1:” He is now at rest off the isle of El Giglio, sewn up in his hammock, with a thirty-six-pounder shot at his head and another at his heels.” PG. 2
This quote tells what sailors did to respect those who have died. This shows me that things that were done back then are a lot different than what we do now.
Ch.2:” I have not wanted for anything now that you are here,” said the old man. PG. 9
Edmond’s father has longed for his son’s return and now that he is back he is happy once again.
Ch.3: “Tell me this once more, Mercedes; is this your final answer?” “I love Edmond Dantes,” the girl answered coldly,” and none other shall be my husband.” PG. 13
This is foreshadowing one of Edmond’s soon to be enemies because Fernand is jealous of the love that Mercedes has for Edmond.
Ch.4: “My friends,” he said, with a gloomy shake of the head, ”It is far more serious matter than we supposed.” PG. 24
This is showing that Edmond is going to have to learn to live in a jail cell because of what he is being accused of.
Ch.5: “How dreadful!” cried Renee, turning pale. “It appears that a little Bonapartist plot has been discovered,” Villefort continued. PG. 29
Edmond has been accused of a planning a Bonapartist plot. Since that is the case he will not be going home at all because this was a serious matter.
Ch.6: Villefort went to the fire, threw the letter into the fire, threw the letter into the flames, and remained watching it until it was reduced to ashes. PG. 36
This is foreshadowing Edmond’s other enemy because instead of setting him free he is getting rid of the evidence that might be able to set him free.
Ch.7: Dantes got up and quite naturally looked in the direction the boat was moving. Before him, at a distance of a hundred fathoms, rose the black, steep rock on which stood the frowning
