The Count of Monte Cristo	comment	The Count of Monte Cristo is a serialised adventure novel by Alexandre Dumas Père, published in the Journal des Debats from August 1844 to January 1846, based loosely on an allegedly true story which Dumas discovered in a collection of police reports.Edmond Dantès is a guileless sailor experiencing a run of good luck: he has just been made captain of his ship, and is newly engaged to the beautiful Mercédès. On his wedding day, Fernand Mondego (Mercédès' cousin and Dantès' rival for her affections) and Danglars (Dantès' co-worker, who is jealous of the former's rise to captain) decide to frame Dantès by sending an anonymous letter fingering him as a Napoleonic spy. Dantès is arrested and brought to crown prosecutor Gerard de Villefort, who is initially sympathetic to Dantès until he finds a letter in his possession that would expose Villefort's father as a leader in a Neo-Bonapartist conspiracy. Taking no chances, he destroys the evidence of Dantès' innocence and fast-tracks him to the Chateau d'If, a hellhole prison for enemies of the state.During his stretch, Edmond meets and befriends a fellow lifer, Abbe Faria. Faria educates him in a variety of subjects; helps him piece together the truth about his imprisonment; and before dying, tells of a treasure of unthinkable magnitude buried on the island of Monte Cristo. Edmond manages to escape by smuggling himself inside Faria's bodybag, and claims the treasure.He returns to France as the brooding, cultivated, and no-named Count of Monte Cristo. He discovers that Mondego, Danglars and Villefort have all become rich and powerful—Mondego is now the Count de Morcerf, and a war hero; Danglars is now a baron, and head of a bank; and Villefort is now one of the most prominent lawyers in Paris—and sets about using their evil pasts and tainted passions to enact an elaborate and cruel revenge. A complication arises in that their children are, by and large, genuinely good people whom the Count numbers among his few friends.For a list of adaptations or works inspired by the novel, see here.

The Count of Monte Cristo / int_109bc3e	type	Eat the Dog
The Count of Monte Cristo / int_109bc3e	comment	Eat the Dog: Maximillien Morrel rescued Chateau-Renault during combat in North Africa, and as the two ended up in the desert without rations, they were forced to kill and eat one of their horses. Played for laughs when they recount the incident to their friends, there's a comment about it being tough (i.e. a difficult thing to do), which one of the friends jokingly interprets as a reference to the horse meat being tough.

The Count of Monte Cristo / int_112890b3	comment	Secret Identity: Dantès uses the titular Count persona to mask his true identity. He has other identities as well, such as a British nobleman, Lord Wilmore, and an Italian abbot, Abbe Busoni. He even builds a network of relationships between his alter egos, which he uses to throw off suspicions: Wilmore and Monte Cristo are supposed to be bitter enemies, while Busoni is a friend of both and is greatly perplexed by their rivalry. Then there is Sindbad The Sailor, and presumably many others.

He is naturally educated and well-spoken, despite receiving little schooling, simply because his father is an aristocrat. Interestingly, his half brother is also an inconsiderate, cruel and rude brat, but his half sister a decent and good-natured young woman (like her mother, the parent she doesn't share with either half-brother).

He is briefly "stunned", but more by the surprise of the cold water than the impact, and suffers no injury. This is because a cannon ball is sewn into the bottom of the bodybag, ensuring he hits the water feet-first. This is a lot more survivable than if he landed flat.

It seems that the lowborn will only develop shallow tastes in response to riches if they're bad people to begin with.

The Count is even generous enough to bring other people screwed over by his enemies almost as many years before (namely Haydee by Fernand and Bertuccio by Villefort) so they can be the direct executors of the vengeance.

Then it turns out someone's been trying to poison her paternal grandfather, though fortunately his Acquired Poison Immunity saves him. Due to the motives, the family doctor starts suspecting Valentine herself until she too is poisoned. It turns out it was her stepmother who wanted her own son to inherit both family's fortunes. Benedetto manipulated Caderousse into burgling the Count's house and possibly murdering the Count by claiming the Count's will acknowledged Benedetto as his heir.

The Count of Monte Cristo / int_3ed23024	comment	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: The Count of Monte Cristo has enough money to start a new life and move on from his traumas. However, because There Are No Therapists, he can't forgive being unjustly imprisoned and having his life stolen from him. Thus, he begins to Pay Evil unto Evil towards the three men that ruined him. He doesn't stop when Mercédès calls him out for it, only refining the means to attempt sparing a handful of innocents. Edmond gets what he wants, and only refuses to let Danglars die when he indirectly murders a child. Edmond and Mercédès truly loved each other. He also admits he's not mad at her for marrying Fernand because the other choice was staying single forever. Mercédès also understands why Edmond is doing what he's doing; anyone falsely imprisoned would want revenge. When she confronts the Count and begs him to leave her son out of his grudge, they have a frank talk about how things in their life went. Mercédès can't forgive the fact that the Count would have killed Albert in a duel without considering how she would feel. The Count also admits that his love for Mercédès faded a while back, not because of her marrying his rival but because that's what happens when you spend more than twenty years away from someone, to the point that they become a memory.

Caderousse can either use the diamond to rebuild his life and become an honest man, or fall victim to greed and let the diamond ultimately destroy him. He fails. Hard. The Count even gives him a second chance, but he blows that too. When he's caught in the Count's mansion, Caderousse asks for yet another chance, but this time the Count leaves him to his fate, getting himself literally stabbed in the back by Bennedetto. The Count gives one to Maximilien at the end to confirm that he is truly deserving of happiness by his standards. Max passes with flying colors by agreeing to kill himself with a drug given to him by the Count, even when offered large sums of money if he chooses to live, thus proving that he has tasted true despair.

The conspiracy to get Edmond imprisoned is motivated by him getting a promotion and getting to marry a pretty woman; the punishment is to slander him as a spy and sentence him to die in prison. Edmond's revenge toward the conspirators includes not only ruining their family and pushing them to suicide or madness but also killing their eldest children. His justification is that like God his punishment applies to the next generation. Franz' father died because he did not enjoy coercion: he still went with it but his bitterness over it irritated the bonapartist leader who challenged him to a duel. Bertuccio stabbed Villefort in what he thought was the heart (he hit a rib) because Villefort refused to start an investigation of the murder of Bertuccio's brother. The amusing part is that everyone refers to this event as typical Corsican revenge with the Count even saying Bertuccio shames his nationality by botching it.

Villefort is touched by Dantès's integrity and about to let him go, when he sees that a letter which was part of the evidence against Dantès, implicates his own father in treason and would ruin his career. At this point of course, the Kangaroo Court element kicks in as Villefort applies powers actually given to him under the law to have Dantès imprisoned indefinitely without a trial.

The Count of Monte Cristo / int_5fd14ab3	comment	Sacred Hospitality: The Count, during the period when he's traveling and preparing his revenge, spends time in lands where this principle is upheld and absorbs it himself. One consequence is that he is noticeably unwilling to dine at Albert's home. While he gives other excuses, the explanation is that he feels it wouldn't be right to revenge himself on them if he shared their food. It's how Mercédès gets her first hint that the Count doesn't have her husband's best interests at heart, since he refuses food she herself gives him. Caderousse's step into a life of crime is murdering and robbing a wealthy stranger staying the night (at Caderousse's own insistence) in his house. Compounding the crime's seriousness is the fact that said stranger had actually travelled there to trade with him — Caderousse is simply driven by Greed.

The Count of Monte Cristo / int_6056f853	type	Homoerotic Subtext
The Count of Monte Cristo / int_6056f853	comment	Homoerotic Subtext. The lesbian relationship between Eugenie Danglars and Louise d'Armilly is never stated overtly, but it's very strongly implied: It begins subtly, by comparing Eugenie's beauty to that of Diana—who was virginal, preferring female company to male company. Diana also had at least one follower, Callisto, who was apparently in love with her, since Jupiter seduced her in Diana's form. Eugenie is incredibly quick to admire the beauty of other women, while attesting no opinion of the good-looks of any male characters. Then the narrator describes the glances of Eugenie's admirer as being deflected off "Minerva's shield," which "once protected Sappho." Sappho of Lesbos. They are found sitting on the same chair in front of the piano, making duets out of solos by each playing one hand of the song. When they're planning to run away together after Eugenie's engagement ends in disaster, they are extremely affectionate and flirty, calling each other "my sweet", comparing themselves to classical lovers such as Hercules and Queen Omphale (who liked to switch clothes with Hercules for fun), and comparing their flight to a sexual abduction. Finally, in case you still had your head in the sand: In one scene, an unexpected visitor drops into a hotel room they're staying in (two paragraphs after the text makes a point of telling the reader that the room has two beds) and finds them sleeping together in the same bed. Yeah...

A scene in the novel shows the Count listing his assets, totaling an estimated value of 120 million francs, an impossibly huge figure by 1838 standards (as a comparison, Napoleon Bonaparte's personal wealth in 1814 was estimated at somewhere in the region of 80 million francs), and this is the near the end of the story, when he has already spent a large portion of his fortune. He is able to effectively "resurrect" a ship confirmed as lost at sea in a matter of weeks, is implied to control one of the most powerful banks in Europe, owns a fleet of ships, and singlehandedly toys with the French financial market specifically to screw a single person.

He destroys the lives of the men who destroyed his, but with considerable collateral damage, particularly among their innocent children: Edouard de Villefort is murdered, Valentine de Villefort would have suffered the same fate if Maximilien had not interceded for her, and Albert Morcerf would have been killed too if Mercédès had not interceded for him, and at the end he joins the army as a Death Seeker.

The Count of Monte Cristo / int_7fbb2a3	comment	Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Morrel intercedes for Dantès many times in an effort to gain his release. After Napoleon returned to power, he greatly exaggerated Edmond's role in restoring the Emperor; once Napoleon fell again, those very statements, now on record, meant that there was no chance at all that Dantès would ever be released.

The Count of Monte Cristo / int_805deb6e	type	Small Role, Big Impact
The Count of Monte Cristo / int_805deb6e	comment	Small Role, Big Impact: Napoleon Bonaparte. He never actually appears in the novel as Edmond meets him in Elba off-screen (some adaptations actually show this meeting) but he nevertheless has a big impact on the story. Many characters are defined by their attitude to him. The novel begins shortly before Bonaparte's brief return to power in 1815, when the restored royalist regime is still shaky, and being denounced as a pro-Bonaparte conspirator is enough to get Edmond arrested. When Villefort realises that his own father (a Bonaparte loyalist) was the intended recipient of the letter given to Edmond, he condemns Edmond to the Chateau d'If, fearing that any connection between him and a pro-Bonaparte conspiracy would ruin his chances of social and political advancement.

He just happens to be wrong because he fails to consider that Valentine herself also had heirs and her death would benefit the real poisoner. The readers on the other hand, know beforehand that his deduction is wrong because they’ve seen the real culprit spend an entire chapter discussing poisons with Monte Cristo earlier in the book.

The Count of Monte Cristo / int_890d4ef2	comment	Humiliation Conga: Albert's ability to accept all sorts of humiliations with relative dignity—from being seduced by a servant-boy (whom he thinks is a woman until he gets a knife pointed at his face), to being forced to call off a duel with the Count, to giving up his wealth and name after he finds out what kind of man his father is—is ultimately his most redeeming quality, and what truly distinguishes him from his father. Danglars gets one too. Having been the instigator of the plot that sent the Count to prison, he is subsequently bankrupted, divorced, abandoned by his daughter, and kidnapped and imprisoned by Luigi Vampa and his bandits when he flees to Italy with the money he embezzled. Danglars is initially left without food, and when he demands to be fed the bandits charge him outrageous prices for his meals. Forced to choose between his money and his life, Danglars is starved out of the millions of francs he still has with him, until only 50,000 remain. It then turns out that the Count had ordered Vampa and his bandits to kidnap Danglars and imprison him, putting Danglars in the very same situation that he placed the Count in. The money the bandits charge Danglars for his meal is returned to the hospitals he embezzled it from, as Danglars learns a horrible lesson in greed. He pleads for mercy and forgiveness, and the Count ultimately grants it to him, letting him go with the last 50,000 francs — the only money he was carrying that he had earned more or less honestly. Oh, and the situation turns his hair white.

Also odd is that Dantès creates other personas: Busoni, an intellectual and pious Italian priest who seems to be modeled after Faria who tutored him in prison, and Lord Wilmore, an eccentric British philanthropist who is an enemy of the Count. Thus, Dantès essentially divided the different parts of his personality into different identities, and his main identity as the Count represents his darker side. He ultimately ends up showing some kindness and mercy (after one of his revenges went too far), and at the end of the novel signs a friendly letter as "Edmond Dantès, Count of Monte Cristo", thus reconciling the identities.

Dantès himself tries to enforce this trope during his time as the Count of Monte Cristo, with mixed success. He rewards Monsieur Morrel, the one person who always believed in Dantès and actually put himself at risk to lobby for Dantès' release from his unjust imprisonment, but then nearly ruins the life of Morrel's son Maximilien by inadvertently using the woman Maximilien loves as a pawn in one of his schemes. He destroys the lives of the men who destroyed his, but with considerable collateral damage, particularly among their innocent children: Edouard de Villefort is murdered, Valentine de Villefort would have suffered the same fate if Maximilien had not interceded for her, and Albert Morcerf would have been killed too if Mercédès had not interceded for him, and at the end he joins the army as a Death Seeker. Mercédès herself is his big failure: all his cleverness is insufficient to provide her with the happiness she deserves.

The crucial difference is that the Count has at least some empathy, self-awareness, and remorse, and while he was imprisoned for a crime he did not commit, Benedetto escaped justice for crimes he was certainly guilty of.

The Count of Monte Cristo / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: Pay attention to what the Count says to people as he's usually talking about something that will happen much later in the novel. The story of how Bertuccio entered the Count's service — specifically the fact that he came to the Count's attention after the Count's gift to Caderousse inspired a crime spree that Bertuccio was falsely accused of and nearly executed for — is an early indication that the Count doesn't know or foresee everything and that his interventions can have devastating results for innocent bystanders, something he is increasingly forced to face up to in the later stages of the novel. At the Morcerfs' ball, Albert remarks that Baron Danglars can afford to to be dismissive of his title because he would still be a millionaire even if he renounced the title of baron, while Albert would be nobody if he were not Viscount Morcerf. By the end of the novel, Danglars has lost his fortune, while Albert has renounced the Morcerf name and title and set out to make something of himself on his own account.

Two of the three main contributors to the downfall of Dantès, Danglars and Villefort, are motivated by concerns for the advancement of their careers; the third, Fernand, has a different motivation for his hatred of Dantès but goes on to cheat and betray his way up the social ladder. In the scene where Villefort is first mentioned, Morrel says that he's never heard that Villefort is a wicked man, and Danglars replies (with no apparent self-consciousness) that he is however ambitious and that often comes to the same thing.

The Count of Monte Cristo / int_a1b141f4	comment	My God, What Have I Done?: Subverted by Villefort, who has his moment at the very beginning of the book. He initially feels a terrible remorse at sending the innocent Dantès to prison, but later represses it and goes through with the deed. It's implied, however, that the guilt he feels does not go away so easily. In fact, it is implied that Villefort became the hanging judge that he is because of the repressed guilt. Caderousse is horrified at the realization that Danglers has actually carried out the scheme he claimed to only be joking about, and almost blows the whole thing right at the start until Danglers convinces him any apparent connection to the plot would be very bad for him. Later, he becomes just as bad as the others. Played straight by the Count himself, when confronted by Maximilien about Valentine's peril; it is only then that he starts realizing what he has become in the pursuit of vengeance. His most pointed realization, and the one that made him realized he'd gone too far, was when he failed to save a young boy who'd inadvertently become involved in his schemes.

Morrel is taking a dreadful political risk in doing so, due to the struggles between royalist and Bonapartist groups that are convulsing France at the time and are in part what led to Dantès' imprisonment. By the time Dantès escapes and becomes the Count, Morrel's shipping company is on the verge of bankruptcy and his family's honor is ruined because of his inability to pay his debts. Using the alias of "Sinbad the Sailor", the Count repays his old employer by buying out and paying off the company's debts, giving them a brand-spanking new merchant ship to replace the one that had recently been destroyed in a storm, and also providing a generous dowry for Morrel's daughter. Monsieur Morrel dies soon after, but his good name and family honor are both fully restored.

The Count of Monte Cristo / int_ab5eea65	comment	Dramatic Irony: The plot runs on it. The characters never know what the other characters are up to. When Edmond is imprisoned, he and Morrel are oblivious to the treachery of Villefort, and trust his advice as though he were a good friend. None of Edmond's friends realize that Danglars and Fernand were responsible for his arrest. When Edmond is in disguise, none of his old friends or enemies knows his true identity. Except for Mercédès, who pegged it was him when she first heard his voice, at least when he was Monte Cristo.. Benedetto manages to make a name for himself in French society under a false identity, but nobody except the Count and one of his servants knows that he's actually the illegitimate son of Gérard de Villefort and Hermine Danglars. This takes a new dimension when he ends up engaged to his own half sister. After he is exposed as an impostor and a criminal, two characters discuss how grieved his parents would be if he had any, unaware that they themselves are his parents. Towards the end of the book two characters are running away from Paris at the same time, and they cross paths a couple of times without noticing, before finding themselves face to face. Even the Count, the Manipulative Bastard himself, doesn't realize that Maximilien and Valentine are romantically involved until the last minute; as far as he's concerned, Valentine is the daughter of his hated enemy.

The Count of Monte Cristo / int_ad118ed1	comment	Aesop Collateral Damage: The Count causes a lot of this while getting his revenge on those who betrayed him: In the process of bringing about Danglars' financial ruin, the Count is implied to be responsible for the bankruptcy of several major banking houses across Europe, with all the attending dire financial consequences for all their proprietors and clients. Danglars names Jacopo as one of those who "suspended payments;" one imagines that this one was a setup aimed specifically at Danglars. Destroying Morcerf leaves Mercédès and Albert disgraced and destitute (although the Count does note that they went too far in cutting all ties with him, including his fortune, and contact them to give them some money). She is set to spend the rest of her life in a convent, while he joins the army as a Death Seeker. Earlier the Count was willing to kill Albert in a duel as part of his revenge against Morcerf, until Mercédès intervened. His machinations against Villefort led to the death of Villefort's young son Edouard, prompting even the Count to reflect that he has gone too far. It almost leads to Valentine's death too, until the Count learns in time that she is the woman with whom Maximilien Morrel is madly in love. The fallout from the above is what prompts the Count to spare Danglars, stripping him of all his wealth but sparing his life rather than letting him starve to death as he originally intended.

The Count of Monte Cristo / int_b070362d	comment	Wicked Stepmother: Madame Heloise de Villefort is the young wife of middle-aged prosecutor Villefort, with a spoiled eight-year-old son. She despises Valentine, Villefort's daughter by his previous marriage, because all of the property of her grandparents will revert to her rather than her step-brother. She eventually goes on a killing spree, poisoning Valentine's maternal grandparents and attempting to poison her husband's paralytic father (his servant is killed instead). To escape justice, she poisons herself, and just to spite her husband, kills her son as well.

He does at least draw the line at harming Villefort's infant son, and Edouard's death is a key moment leading to the Count realizing that he's not the omniscient Big Good he thought he was.

After many years of purchases and investments, the Count says he has about one hundred million francs at the end of the book.note Adjusted for inflation, this is equivalent to over $400 million USD in 2010 money.

The Count of Monte Cristo / int_daba0e87	comment	Valentine's maternal grandfather dies on the way to Paris, soon followed by her grandmother, making Valentine the heir (her mother died young and her father remarried). Then it turns out someone's been trying to poison her paternal grandfather, though fortunately his Acquired Poison Immunity saves him. Due to the motives, the family doctor starts suspecting Valentine herself until she too is poisoned. It turns out it was her stepmother who wanted her own son to inherit both family's fortunes.

A few of the most egregious examples include: That Dantès escapes prison and acquires his treasure just in time to save Mr. Morrel from financial ruin. That Bertuccio, a man with a completely independent history with Villefort and access to concrete evidence of his misdeeds, just so happened to seek refuge at Caderousse's inn on the same day Caderousse received the diamond from the Abbé Busoni and killed the jeweler. That the woman Villefort was having an affair and an illegitimate child with would go on to marry Danglars. That Benedetto and Caderousse should not only end up in the same prison, but also become friends... or as close to such as two people like them could ever become. Maximilien Morrel falling in love with Valentine de Villefort, of all people.

The Count of Monte Cristo / int_fccd06b6	comment	Beware the Nice Ones: Edmond was a guy who had everything going for him, then lost everything thanks to being screwed over by whom he thought were his friends.

The Count of Monte Cristo / int_fd1f1963	comment	Young Conqueror: Luigi Vampa, a celebrated bandit, is analogized to one of these, because he's achieved power and celebrity and is not yet 30. Vampa may be aware of the comparison, since he likes to read Julius Caesar for fun.

The Count of Monte Cristo / int_fff371b4	comment	Destroying Morcerf leaves Mercédès and Albert disgraced and destitute (although the Count does note that they went too far in cutting all ties with him, including his fortune, and contact them to give them some money). She is set to spend the rest of her life in a convent, while he joins the army as a Death Seeker. Earlier the Count was willing to kill Albert in a duel as part of his revenge against Morcerf, until Mercédès intervened.
