The Count of Monte Cristo (2002) / int_15b2cab3	comment	Tempting Fate: In the beginning of the story, Mercedes tells Fernand she will never marry him, because she doesn't want to be his "whistle"note The context being that as boys, Fernand got a pony for his birthday while Edmond only got a whistle for his. Yet Edmond was so happy with his whistle that it made Fernand want the whistle more than the precious pony. to covet. Skip ahead over fifteen years later, and Mercedes has become Fernande's trophy wife to cast aside for his lovers, ergo his "whistle". Not long after, Edmond's father is about to toast that the three of them (him, his son and Mercedes) will know happiness from this moment on. But before he can toast, Edmond is arrested, setting off a chain of events that would leave Edmond Dantes a jaded, revenge-driven anti-hero, Mercedes an unhappy Trophy Wife to Fernand, and Edmond's father dead.

The Count of Monte Cristo (2002) / int_1d2400e9	type	Green-Eyed Monster
The Count of Monte Cristo (2002) / int_1d2400e9	comment	Green-Eyed Monster: Fernand is the textbook example of "Envy". This is at the core of why he resents Edmond, despite being his long-time friend. As established by Mercedes, she recalls a time when he and Edmond were boys and each got something for their birthday, a pony for Fernand (being the son of a Count) and a whistle for Edmond (what with being poor and all). Yet, Edmond was so happy with the simple joy of having a whistle, it crept into Fernand to want the whistle more than his expensive pony, thus exemplifying what drives envy: a simple hatred for those happier than you, to the point of wanting to take away that happiness (just as he takes away Edmond's chance at marriage and family). Later, when demanding a duel from the hero, Fernand angrily bemoans how he can't stand to live in a world where he (the formerly rich son of a count) has nothing while Edmond (a former poor boy) has everything now.

The Count of Monte Cristo (2002) / int_20f689e9	type	Adaptational Villainy
The Count of Monte Cristo (2002) / int_20f689e9	comment	Adaptational Villainy: The warden of Chateau d'If, named Armand Dorleac in the film, is depicted as a sadist who tortures prisoners as part of an annual rite, despite the fact that he knows perfectly well that all the prisoners in Chateau d'If are innocent. In the book he did no such thing, never gave any indication of knowing his prisoners were innocent, and didn't even put Dantes in isolation until after a violent outburst on his part. Fernand was already an unscrupulous serial traitor in the book, but the movie goes out of its way to make him as deeply repulsive as possible — in the book, he and Edmond weren't friends to begin with, so the betrayal was not as deeply personal. The book's Fernand was also not explicitly unfaithful to Mercedes, nor did he routinely challenge people to duels for sport; he also did not show as much disdain for his son Albert. The book's Fernand was also not a born aristocrat, so he lacks the classist tendencies of the film character. His book counterpart also never attempts to kill Mercedes to spite Edmond like he does in the movie, though that is partially because he never finds out the Count's true identity until after he's lost his family. In the novels, Villefort is ashamed for sending Dantes to prison in order to secure his ambitions. His guilt over this (as well as some of his other crimes) eventually breaks him. The film version has no such remorse and even conspired with Fernand to kill his own father.

In the film, Caderousse is left out completely, with the latter part of his role fulfilled by Morrel, while Danglars is Demoted to Extra.

The first is that everyone will be so overawed by his spectacular displays of wealth that nobody will contact the local College of Heraldry and find out there is no "Count of Monte Cristo". The second was that since his enemies were willing to betray him for so little the first time, they'd be more than willing to betray him a second time given the opportunity to make a fortune while doing so — enabling him to use his vast wealth as bait for a trap.

They also don't notice how heavy the nightsoil buckets are (they're used to get rid of the dirt) despite the prisoners only being fed one or two ladles of soup a day.

No one particularly likes him before the Time Skip - he's implied to be lazy and is shown to heavily drink while working. After the Time Skip, despite inheriting his father's wealth, he's blown it all on luxuries, gambling, and bad investments. He's a crass womanizer that everyone (except Albert, and even this doesn't last) treats with barely disguised disdain and by the time he's killed by Dantes he's penniless and on the run from the law.

Edmond, who literally had the faith whipped out of him, resentfully says he doesn't believe in God. The Priest responds by saying "God believes in you."

Luigi Vampa is a ruthless smuggler and bandit, happy to bury a disobedient crewman alive. He's also friendly, reasonable and encourages Edmond to seek his destiny outside of smuggling. He can even be seen assisting Edmond's schemes (and yes, he's being paid handsomely for it, but it's also just as much a favor to Edmond too).

Prominent characters such as Caderousse, HaydÃ©e, Franz d'Epinay, Benedetto, Bertuccio and Ali are also omitted. Some of the minor characters appear as one-shot cameos or become combinations of such. For example, we get a glimpse of Albert's three friends, with whom he goes to Rome, who, most likely, are based upon Franz dâ€™Epinay, Beauchamp and Debray. We can also see a black servant among the Countâ€™s retinue, who is probably supposed to be Ali. Also, Jacopo in the movie is the combination of the novelâ€™s Jacopo and the Countâ€™s majordomo Bertuccio.

Fernand then gives Edmond a king piece as Edmond is dragged away, to "remember better times." When they next meet, Edmond manipulates Fernand in turn, ultimately leaving one in an empty treasure chest, which represented Fernand's last chance to regain his wealth and prestige.

On one hand, Edmond's pursuit of revenge did set off the chain events where he made a loyal friend, found untold riches, reunited with his love, and met their son. On the other hand, when he visits the resting place of AbbÃ© Faria, he admits that he was right in that vengeance itself was never going to heal him.

The Count of Monte Cristo (2002) / int_916c72b3	comment	Rule of Symbolism: Dantes continually keeps the words carved in the wall "God will give me justice" tidy, representing his faith in God and how it keeps him going. Seven years later, the carved words are worn away and neglected, which Dantes notes aptly represents his cynicism. In the end, after Dantes visits the prison one last time to make peace with the Priest, the carved words are tidied once more. In one scene, Jacopo finds Dantes sleeping on the floor, claiming he's spent so long sleeping on stone, he feels less comfortable on a bed than the floor. This is meant to frame how badly he's holding onto his grudge, distancing himself from any comfort so he never forgets what he's been through. Later, when he sleeps with Mercedes for the first time in 15 years, he's sleeping in a bed, showing his resolve for revenge thankfully waning (if not entirely). As Fernand rides away to his freedom, he slows his horse down as he realises he has nothing left to his name. As though making a point of how uncertain his future is, Fernand faces an endless field of tall grass, representing the great unknown that is his fate as a poor man and fugitive, and has a burnt-out and ruined villa behind him, representing the wreck that became of his old life and family.

The Count of Monte Cristo (2002) / int_950bbfa7	comment	Take a Third Option: Dantes' appearance on the beach after escaping Chateau D'If provides the smuggling captain Luigi one such option. As he explains to Dantes, he and his crew originally landed to give Jacopo a taste of being Buried Alive for trying to sneak some treasure for himself on the side of jobs. However, Luigi found himself asked by some of Jacopo's comrades to spare him, which he notes he can't do without losing respect of his crew and risking a mutiny. Thus, his solution is to have Dantes fight Jacopo to the death: if Jacopo wins, he comes back and all is forgiven. If Dantes wins, Luigi gave Jacopo a chance for mercy and the crew has a replacement. And if Dantes refuses they'll just slit his throat. When Dantes wins the resulting duel, he offers Luigi a fourth option, in that Jacopo gets to live but Dantes joins the crew anyways, having shown off his fighting skills to prove his worth. Luigi agrees, and Jacopo gives Dantes the I Owe You My Life speech.

None of Dantes miseries would have happened without Napoleon, but he makes no further appearances after Dantes and Mondego leave Elba, and Napoleon's historical death in 1821 occurs eight years before Dantes escapes from prison.

Unknown to Albert, not only is Fernand not his father (and Dantes is), but Fernand secretly disowned the boy for not being his biological son. So Albert is wasting his energy trying to protect the man who would not care if his "son" lived or died (on top of intending to murder him once he kills Dantes). Bonus dramatic irony when Dantes threatens to fight Albert if he further impedes his revenge, unaware he's dangerously close to killing his own flesh and blood.

The Count of Monte Cristo (2002) / int_acecb17d	comment	Chekhov's Skill: Jacopo's skill with a knife comes back in a big way at the finale when he performs a perfect knife throw to save Mercedes' life. From Faria, Edmond learns to disarm and turn the opponent's blade against them. He uses this first on Jacopo (only to spare his life), and again in his final duel with Fernand. Fernand disarms Edmond the same way in their duels at the start and end, only for Edmond to pull off the above technique to reverse the situation.

What's more, if Fernand hadn't been a neglectful father in the first place and attended his son's birthday like he should've, then Dantes wouldn't have further endeared himself to Albert with his speech.

The Count of Monte Cristo (2002) / int_ad1db87c	comment	Oh, Crap!: Danglars has his big moment when he demands to know who the Count really is, only to go pale when he bluntly tells him "my friends call me Edmond Dantes". Danglars can only whisper out "Dantes?" in shock before Edmond pushes him and lets him choke on the rope wrapped around his throat, only spared because Dantes tells the constables to cut him down before he can't talk. Villefort and the Count's meeting in the sauna is one of these after the other for the former, but especially when the gendarmes reveal themselves (having overheard Villefort admit to his crimes), and when he realises that the Count is Dantes. Mondego can only gape in shock when the Count reveals his true identity.

What is a boy barely 16 years of age to do when he's been captured in a foreign country? Weep? Beg? No. Instead, he fearlessly declares "Do your worst!" This is what leads to Dantes (who witnessed this display of courage) warming up to the boy.

The Count of Monte Cristo (2002) / int_b9955dad	comment	Wanting Is Better Than Having: One of the wonderful facets of Fernand. The only reason he wants anything is for the petty reason that it's not his. One example being that, as a child, he wanted the whistle Edmond was so happy to get for his birthday, despite that he himself got a pony for his own birthday. Later in life, Fernand covets Mercedes for being Edmond's fiance, and goes as far as to falsely accuse his friend of treason just to have her. Yet, once a distraught Mercedes marries him a month after Edmond's imprisonment, Fernand proceeds to essentially toss his Trophy Wife to the side while he cheats with four different women in the span of 15 years (again, because those women belonged to someone else). All in all, Fernand is the type to only want something if he can't have it.

He praises the boy's courage, which he himself witnessed when captured by muggers. Despite that his father may not have bothered to show, Dantes is the first to let Albert know that his worth goes beyond Fernand's approval.

The Count of Monte Cristo (2002) / int_dae3844e	type	Hidden Disdain Reveal
The Count of Monte Cristo (2002) / int_dae3844e	comment	Hidden Disdain Reveal: When Mercedes reveals that Albert is not his son, but rather Edmond's, Fernand's response is "So he's the bastard son of a dead traitor. He was always disappointing." Still, one can interpret it as a case of Sour Grapes Syndrome in order for him to ease the blow that a legacy is one more thing Edmond has that he doesn't.

Heloise de Villefort is now named "Valentine", which was the name of Villefortâ€™s daughter in the novel. Peppino (Vampaâ€™s right-hand man) is referred to as â€œPepponoâ€�. Slight example with Fernand Mondego. In the book, Mondego was a commoner who later becomes and is called "Count de Morcerf".

The Count of Monte Cristo (2002) / int_dc579c91	comment	Contrived Coincidence: Abbe Faria, the sole living man who knows the location of the treasure of Monte Cristo, tunneled his way into Dantes's cell by accident. Years later, just after Dante manages to escape, he runs into a smuggler who he convinces to give him a new identity and wardrobe, so he can earn enough to buy a skiff to sail to Monte Cristo. A significant part of Dantes' plan relies on Albert remembering the staged conversation Dantes has with Jacopo about the Spada gold and reporting it back to Fernand with perfect accuracy.

Good for him. ...Except, what has he to escape to? He has nothing left. His wife has essentially left, his only child is really Dantes' son, his wealth has dried up. And Edmond, the man he's always envied and looked down upon, has come out on top as the Count of Monte Cristo. All Fernand has is his horse and an uncertain future that won't be kind to a penniless gambler. It's little wonder he chooses to duel Dantes, knowing he'll either win it all back or die a merciful death.

The Count of Monte Cristo (2002) / int_e5fd8bc2	type	Hate Sink
The Count of Monte Cristo (2002) / int_e5fd8bc2	comment	Hate Sink: Fernand Mondego is portrayed as a vicious, envious little snake who frames Edmond Dantes, his best friend, for treason out of jealousy and a lust for Edmond's beloved, Mercedes. Even after marrying Mercedes, Mondego shamelessly cheats on her and neglects their son Albert, as well as showing himself to be a cruel and bloodthirsty man who slays the husband of one of his mistresses in a duel when the man dares to object to Mondego's affair with his wife. Once Albert is revealed to Edmond's son, Mondego callously writes both him and Mercedes off, manipulates Albert into fighting his real father to save his own skin, and, even when Dantes decides to show mercy and let him go, Mondego opts to spite Edmond by trying to kill Mercedes. Philippe Danglars is a petty and ambitious sailor who, after his captain is injured, orders Edmond not to seek help for him, then tries to have Edmond punished for disobeying this order. After being rightfully told off for his callousness and passed over for promotion in favour of Dantes, Danglars spitefully colludes with Mondego to have Edmund framed for treason. After becoming a partner to his former employer, Morrell, Danglars goes on to steal Morrell's business out from under him, further showing him to be a man who shamelessly steps on more decent men to get ahead in life. Armand Dorleac is the sadistic warden of Chateau d'If. Despite being aware that the prisoners in his charge are largely innocent, Dorleac happily tortures them on each anniversary of their imprisonment, actively mocking the religious Edmond by promising to end his torture when God shows up and stops him. In a further sign of his total Lack of Empathy, Dorleac keeps up the torture even years after he's forgotten Dantes' name.

As he explains to Dantes, he and his crew originally landed to give Jacopo a taste of being Buried Alive for trying to sneak some treasure for himself on the side of jobs. However, Luigi found himself asked by some of Jacopo's comrades to spare him, which he notes he can't do without losing respect of his crew and risking a mutiny. Thus, his solution is to have Dantes fight Jacopo to the death: if Jacopo wins, he comes back and all is forgiven. If Dantes wins, Luigi gave Jacopo a chance for mercy and the crew has a replacement. And if Dantes refuses they'll just slit his throat.
