Les Trois Mousquetaires (1844). One of the most famous pieces of French literature, written by Alexandre Dumas (père), who's also known for writing The Count of Monte Cristo.In the year 1625 under the reign of King Louis XIII, d'Artagnan, the son of a noble but poor family, leaves his home in Gascony and heads to Paris to follow a dream: to become a Musketeer of the Guard, one of the most prestigious military units in the whole Kingdom of France. Armed with only his courage and a letter of introduction from his father, d'Artagnan heads out.Though he loses the letter in an altercation with a mysterious man in a black cape with a scar on his face, d'Artagnan presses on and meets the titular three musketeers: leader and father-figure Athos, the vain and famously gluttonous Big Guy Porthos, and The Casanova and Smart Guy Aramis. Together, they have a series of swashbuckling adventures.The main antagonists are the Cardinal Richelieu and his agent, Milady de Winter. D'Artagnan's Love Interest is Damsel in Distress Madame Bonacieux, at least while he is not being seduced by Milady.The book has been adapted many times, in many countries and in virtually every medium. It has two sequels, which are much less well known: Twenty Years After (1845) and The Vicomte of Bragelonne (serialized 1847–1850). The latter is so massive that it's often divided into three, four or five volumes. Some parts of one particular subplot in the second sequel, related to the imprisoned twin brother of Louis XIV (the famous Man in the Iron Mask), have also inspired several films.For a list of works based off or inspired by The Three Musketeers and its sequels, see here.

Sexy Shirt Switch: D'Artagnan seduces Milady's servant, Kitty, pulls a Bed Trick on Milady, and then seduces Milady as himself (all within the span of 2 weeks, mind you). He confesses the Bed Trick while still naked in Milady's bed, and gets chased out through Kitty's rooms. Since he obviously can't escape Milady's wrath naked, Kitty gives him her dress. This immediately becomes hilarious when he runs to Athos' house, barges in, and gets mistaken for an especially aggressive prostitute!

Age Lift: Inverted with Raoul. He debuts in Twenty Years After as a 15-year-old, just old enough to take part in the action. In the third book, his age is retconned in a way that would make him 12 or 13 in the second book.

Love Ruins the Realm: If Louis XIV could stop falling in love with every other woman he runs into (including his sister-in-law and Raoul's Love Interest), there would have been two deaths avoided (Raoul joining the army to commit Suicide by Cop and Athos shortly dying of despair shortly after), and he might have avoided being seen as a political liability that would encourage plotters to replace him with his more pliable twin brother.

Boisterous Bruiser: Porthos, more and moreso as the books go on. Makes sense, since his strength grows too. His boisterousness bites him in the ass once, when his temper allows a cardinal's agent to lure him into duel and Porthos gets run thorough with a sword before he can react. In his next fight he is much more careful and collected.

Not-So-Harmless Villain: De Wardes (the son of the minor antagonist of the first book) in The Vicomte of Bragelonne. After a bunch of petty insults in the first third of the book, he's beaten by Raoul, stabbed in a quick duel with Buckingham, and then heavily wounds de Guice in a tense pistol duel. It takes d'Artagnan's intervention to prevent him from continuing to not be harmless.

Genre Shift: A large portion of Louise de La Vallière is taken up with court intrigue and romantic plots, with the titular musketeers explicitly absent from the narrative. They don't make a real return until Man in the Iron Mask where the series returns to its original adventure tone.

comment
Graceful Loser: After D'Artagnan and friends have defeated his scheme, Cardinal Richelieu acts in the only manner he can, being who he is... he offers D'Artagnan a job. Talent like that shouldn't be wasted. (It is earlier mentioned in the book that the Cardinal is incapable of being vengeful, because the pursuit of vengeance really gets in the way of the pursuit of power.) While his scheme is defeated, at best it is a minor inconvenience to the Cardinal who is far too powerful for anything that the Musketeers do to actually harm or seriously affect him and his position. That he offers D'Artagnan a job still counts as this trope, however, as if he wished he could crush the young Musketeer without effort.

Defeat Means Friendship
 The Three Musketeers / int_19769f50
comment
Defeat Means Friendship: After d'Artagnan defeats Rochefort, The Dragon of Richelieu, in several duels, the two become close friends. This thinking is so prevalent that D'Artagnan is able to use it as part of a Batman Gambit: In order to get close to Milady de Winter (to track down Madame Bonacieux... originally), he purposely goads her brother-in-law, Lord de Winter, into a duel, so D'Artagnan can spare his life and become his friend. It works.

Sand In My Eyes: After Porthos' death in the final chapters of The Vicomte of Bragelonne, Aramis spends the night leaning against the bulwarks of the ship he's on. The next morning, his servant comments that it must have been a humid night since the wood he's been leaning his head on is damp. "What epitaph would have been worth that?"

Reluctant Retiree: Mazarin sends d'Artagnan to recruit his predecessor's dragon Rochefort. When he meets Richelieu's agent, he finds the man (who is in his 60s by this point) too old to work for him. Rochefort decides to join the anti-Mazarin Fronde rebellion rather than be forced back to retirement (and prison).

Sins of Our Fathers
 The Three Musketeers / int_1adcd502
comment
In Twenty Years After, d'Artagnan wants to kill Mordaunt, but not out of a sense of justice — he is blinded by a desire for vengeance on the sins of Mordaunt's mother, twenty years ago. Athos, on the other hand, is tired of violence and wants to let Mordaunt go, in spite of his own terrible crimes. The dilemma is made moot when Athos kills Mordaunt in self-defense after trying to save him.

Forgotten Phlebotinum: In the first chapter, d'Artagnan has a secret recipe for a balm involving oil, wine, and rosemary, which can heal any wound, no matter how grievous, in the space of a day or two. By the end of chapter 27, his musketeer friends have each been wounded — Athos more than once — and at no point does d'Artagnan think of using this balm to bring them back to health.

Talking Your Way Out: Milady De Winter is imprisoned by the Duke of Buckingham under the care of John Felton, and not only convinces Felton to free her, but also to assassinate the Duke. Not long before the execution she talks to her guards. The guards seem unimpressed, but the musketeers take no chances and replace them. Later she talks to d'Artagnan and almost convinces him to free her. He has to be restrained.

Lawful Stupid: Nicolas Fouquet in the third novel, although it may be a case of Honor Before Reason (since he saves King Louis from the plot to replace him, knowing that this will mean his own downfall as Louis and Colbert work against him.) Athos in the later books displays some elements of that and Honor Before Reason. Even Aramis notes it, telling Athos he'd be a general who only fights by daylight and informs the enemy of the time of the attack.

Automaton Horses: Entirely subverted.

Of course, the novels were written when horses were the only form of personal transportation.

Generation Xerox: The third book, "The Vicomte of Bragelonne", features a number of characters who are the sons of characters from the first book. Some, like Buckingham and the son of a Cardinal's Guardsman who meets Porthos and Aramis in the end take heavily after their fathers. The exception is de Wardes. The father was simply a rival nobleman who dueled d'Artagnan; his son is a petty and vindictive man who proves to be a Not-So-Harmless Villain.

Non-Indicative Name: The title is somewhat misleading, as it refers to Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, who are actually co-stars to d'Artagnan, the true protagonist. Further, the titular Musketeers are only once seen to be in possession of muskets — virtually all of the fighting is done with swords or pistols.

Bed Trick: D'Artagnan spends a night with Milady de Winter pretending to be Count de Wardes, both for the reason of getting information out of her and for the obvious reason. After that, he insults her (still acting as de Wardes!) and gets to sleep with her again, as himself this time, since she wants revenge on de Wardes. She winds up asking D'Artagnan to challenge de Wardes to duel. It gets worse.

Not Good with Rejection: Cardinal Richelieu's biggest motive against Queen Anne is that she rejected his advances some time before the story started. When she rejects him, he plots to turn the King against her by exposing her (platonic) affair with the Duke of Buckingham and treason against France (the king is more relieved that she didn't cheat on him than she's asking her brothers to invade France).

Does Not Know His Own Weight: Porthos once destroys a chair just by sitting in it. Made even funnier by his deadpan delivery of "Excuse me, but I need a new chair, I've broken this one".

Batman Gambit
 The Three Musketeers / int_38d02d44
comment
This thinking is so prevalent that D'Artagnan is able to use it as part of a Batman Gambit: In order to get close to Milady de Winter (to track down Madame Bonacieux... originally), he purposely goads her brother-in-law, Lord de Winter, into a duel, so D'Artagnan can spare his life and become his friend. It works.

Character Development: D'Artagnan's Jumped at the Call tendency to fight is gone by the final book. When De Wardes (the son of the man d'Artagnan dueled and tricked in the first book) attempts to cause trouble with Raoul and the others, d'Artagnan steps in to talk things out and avoid any bloodshed.

Historical Hero Upgrade: Twenty Years After stops just short of making Charles I the Messiah Mk II, both because it fits the ideals of the protagonists (such as seeing themselves as the last bastions of chivalry, defending royalty against a commoner uprising) and because it makes Mordaunt that much more of an Asshole Victim (not only did he give Cromwell the idea of bribing the last of the king's loyal soldiers, he volunteered to be his executioner, all because the king had denied him his inheritance and title).

Bump into Confrontation: This is how d'Artagnan meets Athos and Porthos. He crashes into both of them (separately) and handles the result badly, leading to two duel challenges. (Minutes later, after resolving to mend his ways and be more polite, d'Artagnan tries to behave friendly to Aramis and only ends up embarrassing him, earning himself a third duel challenge.)

Bittersweet Ending
 The Three Musketeers / int_40cc0c7e
comment
That said, from a certain perspective, it's still a Bittersweet Ending of sorts. Namely, each of them more or less foresaw their deaths beforehand and died on their own terms. Porthos decided to sacrifice himself for Aramis, while Athos sought to join Raoul in the afterlife. Likewise, D'Artagnan met Aramis one last time and achieved his goal despite all odds, happily reuniting with his loved ones in heaven.

You Fight Like a Cow
 The Three Musketeers / int_43844bd7
comment
You Fight Like a Cow: Several characters, the most serious offender being Porthos. He quips so much that it's actually part of his combat technique, though clearly not a very effective one. In the first sword fight from the book, the duel between d'Artagnan and all three of the musketeers that gets interrupted by the cardinal's guards, Porthos finishes last. The narration notes that while he keeps tormenting his single adversary with questions about the time, references to current events, and so on, this doesn't actually gain him anything. By the end, everyone else has finished off their adversaries (even Aramis, who got stuck with two adversaries to everyone else's one, and Athos, who was already badly wounded before the fight!), but Porthos' adversary has to be talked into surrendering by his commanding officer. Porthos of course is not the only offender, all of the characters engaging in this behavior from time to time.

GreyAndGreyMorality
 The Three Musketeers / int_445bc425
comment
Grey-and-Grey Morality: The protagonists personally grapple with this issue. For the kingdom of France, Louis and his chosen men are indeed better than Philip and his supporters. As leader, Philip knows little about the state of affairs, being dependent on Aramis. Similarly, Fouquet would squander what was left of the treasury. However, Louis's nature itself is not exactly "noble". In fact, despite [spoiler:Fouquet choosing to help him in the end, Louis' first act is to dispose of Fouquet for Colbert]]. As one of the older generation, Athos believed that a nobleman is to serve the king no matter what. Yet, Louis' actions would affect this viewpoint, with Athos later telling Raoul to serve royalty and not the king. D'Artagnan is subject to this. He has mixed feelings for the royal family, initially resigning as a musketeer in protest. Likewise, while ultimately supporting Louis over Philip, D'Artagnan is clearly upset at the former's sentencings toward Fouquet, Aramis, and especially Porthos.

 The Three Musketeers / int_46b5a2f2
comment
Historical Character's Fictional Relative: The story's take on the Man in the Iron Mask is that it was the (real) king Louis XIV's (fictional) twin brother. Aramis learns of this and uses it to advance in the Jesuit ranks along with trying to replace Louis with his twin, hoping he'll be a better king. Note that the author was well aware this theory was highly fanciful, but it certainly made for a better story.

Broken Ace: Athos is outstanding for his looks, thorough education, martial prowess, and social graces. Unfortunately, he is also a somewhat misogynistic alcoholic with truly terrible luck, though he is less misogynistic than horribly distrustful of women, because he married the patron saint of Bitch in Sheep's Clothing, Milady de Winter. Athos really achieves this status in the later books, when his faith in Royalty is shattered when the king takes his son's fiancee as his mistress.

Comedic Sociopathy: Our heroes can be somewhat... callous in their singleminded focus on glory, fortune, honor, and propriety, especially to their social inferiors. Take d'Artagnan, who cheerfully beats his lackey Planchet for considering leaving his too-broke-to-pay service (under the genuine belief he's doing the man a favor, as he'll obviously be rich someday); attributes Planchet's first display of genuine loyalty and courage with said beating, and resolves to do it more often; and seducing a maid merely to gain access to her mistress, whom he happily sleeps with as the heartbroken maid listens nearby.

Honor-Related Abuse: Milady hid her branded thief status when they got married. Since marriage to a branded thief disgraced him and his family, he executed her for her betrayal (or so he thought). Unlike most modern examples of this trope Athos isn't portrayed as wrong for doing so and neither does he consider his honor restored by the act. It's shown just how devastated he is for losing his honour and failing his family.

Villainous Valour: In the opening chapters, the titular characters and D'artagnan are engaged in a duel with five members of the Cardinal's Guard, the traditional enemies of the Musketeers. After four members of the Guards have been wounded, one fatally, all four of the protagonists turn to the single remaining Guard and ask for his honorable surrender since he is outnumbered four to one. The Guard refuses, however, and is ready to fight all of the Musketeers until his superior officer, who had been wounded earlier in the fight, orders him to stand down. He accepts the order, but breaks his sword over his knee rather than surrender it, and his enemies concede his valor and bravery.

(The secret in question is the identity of the Man in the Iron Mask.)

Downer Ending: The final book, The Vicomte of Bragelonne. Raoul loses his love interest to King Louis XIV, and heads off to war to die. When news of Raoul's death comes, Athos dies of sorrow. Aramis' scheme to replace Louis with his twin brother Philippe fails and he is forced into exile in Spain, Porthos dies in the escape, and Philippe is imprisoned for the rest of his life in even stricter confinements and forced to wear an unremovable iron mask until the day he dies. d'Artagnan, after finally becoming the Marshal of France, is killed by cannon fire during a siege. On a slightly lesser scale, the romantic subplot of the final book. Massive web of love and relationships gets caught up in Louis's attempts to sleep with his brother Monsieur's wife, Henrietta. More than half a dozen people are involved, at least two duels spring up from it, and Louis falls for Louise de la Valliere in the course of it. In the denouement, Louise has been cast aside, Raoul's dead, and Louis and Henrietta are carrying on their affair as if nothing happened.

comment
Book Dumb: d'Artagnan has no interest in academia, yet he's the group's idea man. The group sometimes goes into dangerous situations without much planning, confident that "d'Artagnan will think of something". And he does. As part of his Character Development in the sequels, he seems to have overcome this.

Jumped at the Call: Porthos is overjoyed at the chance to finally receive a noble title. The fact that he's bored out of his mind due to his neighbors being terrified of fighting him doesn't help. Raoul as well. In the second book, as soon as he is sent off by Athos, he jumps into the Fronde civil war, although his youth leads him to make a few bad calls.

Still, they remain as close as brothers until they die, help each other escape even when ordered to arrest one another, and consider Athos' son "a son to us all."

In the sequel d'Artagnan turns into a jaded pragmatic due to decades of military service away from his friends, while Athos becoming a father and striving to be a good example for his son results in him sometimes falling into Honor Before Reason.

Even Evil Has Loved Ones & Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: Mordaunt. His killing spree is in no small part dedicated to his dead mother. When he is finally given a choice of a) being saved from drowning by Athos or b) drowning and trying to take Athos with him, he choses option b). His last words are an apology to his mother for being able to give her the death of only one of the Musketeers, thought at least he gets to pick the one she hated the most.

Putting the Band Back Together: Twenty Years After is both an example and a subversion. Cardinal Mazarin asks d'Artagnan to find his three old friends, who have left the service long ago, and convince them to join back and help the Cardinal against his enemies. But only Porthos Jumped at the Call; Athos and Aramis excuse themselves... and we find out several chapters later that the reason is that they are already involved with the other side.

Missing Mom: Raoul de Bragelonne grew up without a mother, since he's the result of a one night stand and she left him with his dad as soon as it was convenient. (She had her reasons, but still.) To be completely accurate she left Raoul on the doorstep of the man she thought was the father but wasn't, (it's complicated). The man was understandably confused but fortunately the actual father showed up shortly thereafter and took charge of Raoul.

Shot in the Ass: It Happened to Porthos' servant Mousqueton in the first book.

And in a fight scene some chapters later, Mousqueton is wounded "in the other". Later still he's driving a carriage, and doing so upright for reasons known only to himself.

comment
Remember the New Guy?: In "Twenty Years After", all the Musketeers are well aware that Milady had a son (Mordaunt, the sequel's villain). This fact was never brought up in the first book. Given that Milady was dead by the end of the first book, that none of the Musketeers liked to think about (let alone discuss) her death, and that they all went their seperate ways, it seems unlikely that it would have come up in conversation afterwards.

Man in the Iron Mask: In The Vicomte of Bragelonne, it emerges that King Louis XIV has a twin brother whose birth was kept secret — by their mother, the dowager queen — to avoid the possibility that he might contest the throne (among twins, who can really say which is the elder, since order of birth doesn't take into account their development in the womb). He has been kept in seclusion all his life, but the first time he learns of the "outside world" he's sent to the Bastille. His jailers are merely told that he's a common criminal who bears an unfortunate resemblance to the King and only the governor of the Bastille is allowed to have any contact with him. He makes the perfect pawn for Aramis, who knows who he really is. Aramis visits him in the guise of a priest hearing his last confession, tells him his history, and engineers his escape. After the plot to switch him with the King fails, he is sentenced to spend the rest of his life in an even more isolated prison and wear an unremovable iron mask until the day he dies. This is based on accounts of a real prisoner in the Bastille (among other prisons) forced to wear a mask. His identity was never revealed. This also subverts expectations as the attempt fails, unlike in all its myriad adaptions.

Significant Name Overlap: Both Monsieur and The Man in the Iron Mask are named Philippe. This is important because the former is Louis XIV's brother, and the latter is his twin.

Establishing Character Moment: Aramis' backstory as he tells it to d'Artagnan in the first book. After spending most of the first 20 years of his life in a Jesuit college he was gravely insulted by a romantic rival. He then put off his ordination for a year and spent that year learning how to fight (something most noblemen would have been taught from childhood) just so he could kill the guy in a duel. For all his poetry-writing, his Scripture-quoting and his Camp Straight manner, Aramis is not someone you want to cross.

Rewarded as a Traitor Deserves

comment
Rewarded as a Traitor Deserves: Combined with False Reassurance. One treacherous character gets rewarded for aiding Cardinal Richelieu and has the bad judgment to "remind the Cardinal he is still alive" with what is presumably a letter begging for money. The Cardinal's response is that he will "take care of him for the rest of his life". The reader is informed a page later that the guy disappeared one day and is assumed to have spent the rest of his life "secure" in a castle with all of his meals provided. The character appears again, much transformed, in the sequel. Exactly what he went through is not clear, although it's unlikely Richelieu really cared what happened to him.

Then, the king is expected to punish them, but when Treville tells him how bravely they fought the king decides to thank and reward them instead.

Two-Timer Date: D'Artagnan innocently manages to offend each of the three of the eponymous musketeers on the same day, and each challenge him to a duel. d'Artagnan schedules all three duels for the same place and at short increments after each other. When they realize what he's done, he insists that he will do his best to be alive for each of his scheduled appointments and apologizes sincerely if he should be killed and unavailable for any following duels.

And his wife covertly steals D'Artagnan's broken sword to use as a larding needle. After D'Artagnan insinuates that the letter of introduction Rochefort stole from him has financial value, the innkeeper instantly goes from contemptuous to obsequious.

Took a Level in Badass
 The Three Musketeers / int_9bcd82c0
comment
Took a Level in Badass: EVERYONE in the sequel Twenty Years After, as a result of Character Development. Athos is wiser, Porthos is stronger, Aramis is far more cunning, and d'Artagnan has gone from naive to a brilliant strategist. Two of their servants also take a level. Aramis' servant, however, does not. At the same time, Athos may count as an Inversion. In the first book, he was perfectly happy to duel (and kill!) people he didn't even know. He challenged D'Artagnan to a duel merely for bumping into him and deliberately murdered one of Lord Winter's friends for knowing his true name. Which Athos had just told him! And even though the guy wasn't French, and was therefore unlikely to tell anyone who cared! Meanwhile, in the sequel, he rides into battle with his sword sheated and his pistols holstered, and gazes sadly upon the slaughter. He also refuses to kill Mordaunt, to stand by and let anyone else kill Mordaunt, or to even stand by and watch Mordaunt get Hoist by His Own Petard. This despite Mordaunt having already committed several heinous crimes, and having made it perfectly clear that he won't stop until Athos and all his friends are dead. It's obvious that Mous(que)ton, Porthos's servant, has more adventuring experience than the much younger Blaisois.

Evil Chancellor: In the final book, Colbert takes this position, compared to the most cavalier Finance Minister Nicholas Fouquet, and uses his financial influence to turn the king against Fouquet. Subverted in that it is Colbert's policies which subsequently make the country rich, militarily powerful, and capable of waging a foreign war in which D'Artagnan finally gets to be promoted to Field Marshal, while Fouquet—likeable as he was—had been embezzling the national wealth and spending it on grandiosely ornamental but ultimately useless architecture such as the chateau of Vaux-le-Vicomte or the fortifications of Belle-Isle, and it has to be said that he has richly (quite literally) earned his downfall.

Aramis dropped out of priest school, trained for a year with the best fencing master he could find, and, after the year had passed, dueled the nobleman and killed him. The resulting scandal is the reason why he had to join the Musketeers under an assumed name.

Milady is stunned and mortified before turning furious, seducing d'Artagnan in exchange for killing de Wardes. After she upholds her end of the bargain, d'Artagnan has the brilliant idea to reveal the entire truth to her, although this lets him see her fleur-de-lis brand that identifies her as Athos' wife.

Karma Houdini: Richelieu, despite opposing the Musketeers through most of the first book, winds up just as powerful as he was when the book started. He can even give d'Artagnan a promotion. And in the second book, Athos even wishes he were alive again instead of Mazarin. This is presumably as the real Richelieu stayed in favor with the king. In adaptations that make him into the Big Bad, however, he is usually defeated.

Deliberate Values Dissonance
 The Three Musketeers / int_aabe2fb
comment
Deliberate Values Dissonance: The narration will occasionally point out certain attitudes as being acceptable for the time period if not the readers' contemporary one. It outright admits that d'Artagnan heartlessly seducing a woman purely to gain access to his actual target is a scumbag move, yet morally acceptable at the time; and notes that a destitute musketeer making ends meet by squeezing an older, well-off mistress for cash falls entirely within the definition of "honorable" behavior.

Stupid Good: In Twenty Years After, while on the run from the Queen (who wants to throw them in the Bastille), Athos learns that d'Artagnan and Porthos have already been captured. His response is to go to the Queen and ask her to release them, which — surprise, surprise — leads to him being imprisoned too. (And that's not even mentioning the times he stops his friends from killing the villain.)

However, he also spends a lot of his life squandering his quality due to poor luck and a morose personality. He's also a pretty lousy hangman.

Double Standard: Milady being a bigamist is treated as some sort of horribly disgusting crime. Even though her first husband tried to kill her, then vanished without a trace, and actively makes sure no-one can connect the identity he uses now with his former name and rank. How was she to expect that he's still alive? Meanwhile, the Musketeers regularly sleep with married women (D'Artagnan with Constance, Aramis with Madame de Longueville, Porthos with Madame Coquenard - though the sex is only implied there), and no-one bats an eye.

Forgotten Fallen Friend: In Twenty Years After, the heroes spend half the book trying to save Charles I from Cromwell and eventually fail to prevent his execution (the bad guys weren't quite as stupid as they thought). Before the king's death, the musketeers are determined to save him or die trying, since he's such a noble person; afterwards they mourn him for about a chapter. Averted with Constance Bonacieux. Even twenty years after her death, D'Artagnan still remembers her.

Retired Badass Roundup: In Twenty Years After, D'Artagnan tries to reunite his old friends on the orders of Cardinal Mazarino. Porthos, now a wealthy widower, accepts but Athos, who regained his title and estate as the Comte de la Fère and Aramis, now a priest, refuse. Athos and Aramis are members of the Fronde, the anti-Mazarin rebellion. After a few chapters, they are kicking ass together again.

Can't Hold His Liquor: Played with. D'Artagnan and Athos sit for a drinking bout after about half the book. Athos tells D'Artagnan his family history, and D'Artagnan pretends to pass out to not have to listen to any more. Athos comments that "Young people today can't hold their liquor. Even that one, who is one of the best." His judgment might be just a bit skewed due to drinking around 150 bottles over two weeks.

Vow of Celibacy

comment
Vow of Celibacy: Two examples of villains who don't respect their vows of celibacy: Richelieu, being a cardinal and all, is supposed to be celibate. However, he's revealed to have made unsuccessful advances to the queen, a fact used both to illustrate his character and to add to his motivations (since he's bitter at being rebuffed). Milady de Winter is a Femme Fatale who started out as a nun. Her first seduction was of the priest of her convent, whom she convinced to run away with her (and with the convent's sacred chalice).

Shout-Out: In chapter 1, d'Artagnan is compared to Don Quixote. In chapter 23, M. de Treville quotes The Aeneid by Virgil: "Timeo Danaos et dona ferentes." In chapter 28, Aramis, who is looking out a window, is compared to Sister Anne, a character of Bluebeard, a folktale by Charles Perrault. In chapter 32, Mme. Coquenard is compared to the protagonist of The Miser, a play by Molière. In chapter 36, d'Artagnan is compared to Don Japhet of Armenia, a character of a 1653 play by Paul Scarron.

Melodrama: Every girl is the receiver of True, Passionate Romance, loyalty to King, Queen and Country are True and Absolute, and every tiny transgression is cause for a Duel! to the Death! Impassioned hamminess is considered the most praiseworthy of qualities in this novel. A bit of an Invoked Trope due to the setting's Blue-and-Orange Morality — the reason Milady is so dangerous in-universe is because she keeps a low profile and doesn't play by the rules.

Wacky Wayside Tribe: The story grinds suddenly to a halt in order to detail the Lady De Winter's fictional retelling of her life story, which she tells her jailor as a ploy to enlist his help in her escape. If he lived even slightly longer, this might have added something to the plot, but as it stands, it can be removed in its entirety without seriously impacting the story.

Debate and Switch
 The Three Musketeers / int_d1b19b75
comment
Debate and Switch: In Twenty Years After, d'Artagnan wants to kill Mordaunt, but not out of a sense of justice — he is blinded by a desire for vengeance on the sins of Mordaunt's mother, twenty years ago. Athos, on the other hand, is tired of violence and wants to let Mordaunt go, in spite of his own terrible crimes. The dilemma is made moot when Athos kills Mordaunt in self-defense after trying to save him. Mordaunt was also hellbent on killing them all over his mother's death, d'Artagnan (along with Porthos and Aramis) simply want to save their own skins. Athos' reluctance was due solely to Mordaunt possibly being his son. The debate is more "Is Mordaunt's revenging his mother's death just in the eyes of Providence."

Age Insecurity: When D'Artagnan and Aramis reconnect, Aramis mentions being thirty-seven years old. D'Artagnan immediately points out that this cannot be true, as he himself is fourty and Aramis used to be three years older than he. Aramis then admits the truth, making it out to be a maths error on his part rather than an outright lie. At the same time, he beseeches D'Artagnan not to to tell any of his (Aramis') friends his true age.

Hoist by His Own Petard
 The Three Musketeers / int_d397657d
comment
At the same time, Athos may count as an Inversion. In the first book, he was perfectly happy to duel (and kill!) people he didn't even know. He challenged D'Artagnan to a duel merely for bumping into him and deliberately murdered one of Lord Winter's friends for knowing his true name. Which Athos had just told him! And even though the guy wasn't French, and was therefore unlikely to tell anyone who cared! Meanwhile, in the sequel, he rides into battle with his sword sheated and his pistols holstered, and gazes sadly upon the slaughter. He also refuses to kill Mordaunt, to stand by and let anyone else kill Mordaunt, or to even stand by and watch Mordaunt get Hoist by His Own Petard. This despite Mordaunt having already committed several heinous crimes, and having made it perfectly clear that he won't stop until Athos and all his friends are dead.

I Have Many Names: Milady uses or is referred to by the following names throughout the novel: Charlotte Backson (the name Milady's brother-in-law, Lord de Winter, attempts to bestow upon her in his plan to banish her to the colonies) Anne de Breuil (the name Athos knew Milady by when he met her) Comtesse de La Fère (the title and name Milady assumed when she married Athos, who was Comte de La Fère at the time) Milady de Winter, Baroness of Sheffield (the general name Milady is referred to throughout the story) Lady Clarick (a variation on the previous name; in some English translations, this is translated as Clarisse or Clarice). Athos even makes a sober gibe at that (at least he did in d'Artagnan And Three Musketeers): "So many of you and so few of me..."

It Was a Dark and Stormy Night
 The Three Musketeers / int_d67aae8f
comment
It Was a Dark and Stormy Night: Appears in some English translations. The original: "C'etait une nuit orageuse et sombre." Literally, "It was a stormy and dark night" (the primary meaning of orage is "thunderstorm"), but a translator could hardly be blamed for changing it just a little bit to match the cliché.

comment
Angst? What Angst?: All the Musketeers feel some shame or remorse about their parts in Milady's execution - except Porthos, who's all "Oh yeah, that's a thing we did, I'd totally forgotten". Subverted in that a) twenty years have passed since the deed and b) his friends, especially Athos, still react with incredulity to this revelation.

Contempt Crossfire: During the Fronde, Mazarin is well aware that just about the only person who doesn't want him kicked out of France is the queen, whether they're opposing her or part of her faction. His one or two attempts at Still the Leader in front of the prince of Condé get him looks reminding him that "if Condé was defending him, it was neither out of conviction nor enthusiasm".

Contrived Coincidence: All over the place. Here are some prominent examples: On the way to Paris, D'Artagnan happens to meet Rochefort and Milady, two schemers who work for Richelieu. The wife of D'Artagnan's landlord, Constance Bonacieux, happens to work for the Queen and to be involved in her secret schemes. Consequently, she is hunted down by Richelieu's henchmen. When she comes back from England, Milady happens to stop in the convent where Constance Bonacieux lives in hiding.

Warrior Prince: le Grand Condé, a member of the Royal family and an outstanding military commander. His victory at Lens is depicted in Twenty years after. Many members of the royal family, from minor or illegitimate branches, serve as commanders in the Fronde. Most side with the anti-Mazarin elements, while Condé works for Mazarin as he sees it as the way to support the king.

Historical In-Joke: Lampshaded. John Felton is so seduced by a captive Milady De Winter that not only does he set her free but also goes as far as assassinate her captor, George Villiers, the First Duke of Buckingham. Felton did, indeed, assassinate the Duke, but more likely for political reasons, probably due to discontent regarding the state of the English navy.

Very Loosely Based on a True Story: Dumas's novel is based on Courtilz's novel, which is very loosely based on a true story. D'Artagnan was a real man, and even some of the fictional characters are based on real people — or at least their names.

Aristocrat Team: The titual trio are composed of Athos, the former Comte de la Fere, roughly equivalent to a regional governor; Aramis, a former monk of the Roman Catholic Church, while not an aristocrat per se, still lived better than most Frenchmen at the time; and Porthos, a "dandy" from a minor bloodline that nonetheless holds substantial wealth. Their newest adjunct is D'Artagnan, sent to Paris by his father, a decorated officer of the French Army. Granted, excepting Athos, they're more cyan-bloods than blue-bloods, but they're much better outfitted than their countrymen.

Only a Flesh Wound: Wounds are usually enough of a problem to still hurt people after several weeks (D'Artagnan ramming Athos in his already-injured shoulder in a Crash-Into Hello is the basis for the duel that ends up sealing their friendship), but some injuries to D'Artagnan definitely fall in this category and are Hand Waved away by claiming that they closed very quickly due to the weapon used. Since all the protagonists like to put on a Made of Iron persona, they still prefer to shrug off stab wounds to in-universe spectators.

Exact Words
 The Three Musketeers / int_e9e35e8f
comment
Exact Words: The workmen preparing the stand for Charles' execution the next day are making more noise than strictly necessary. When Parry asks them to keep it down as the king is trying to sleep, one says that if he doesn't sleep well tonight, he'll sleep much better tomorrow. The workmen hear an excellent example of Gallows Humor and laugh, Parry recognizes Athos and realizes they're sabotaging the execution. D'Artagnan does this, too. For example he makes a toast to Charles in full hearing of Cromwell's guards by toasting "the one who presides over the feast" while making eye-contact with the King. Mazarin wants to know about two of the men involved in the Duke of Beaufort's flight, who D'Artagnan knows are Athos and Aramis. D'Artagnan promises to have dinner with someone who might be able to tell him of them. Then he goes off to dine with his friends. He does not intend to rat them out to Mazarin, though. At one point, the imprisoned Charles' faithful servant Perry reads to him from the Bible. The Musketeers enter the room (two of them disguised as prisoners and the other two disguised as Cromwell supporters). We then get Perry skipping over several pages before reading aloud a poignant quote about the Lord having sent friends who will become saviours.

Elite Agents Above the Law
 The Three Musketeers / int_eb06cc52
comment
Elite Agents Above the Law: The Ur-Example. King Louis XIII of France has the Musketeers among others as official guardians of France and her interests. However, Louis's laissez-faire attitude to rulership in the novel means France effectively has two heads of state, the second being Cardinal Richelieu, the head of the French Catholic Church. Richelieu also maintains a cadre of agents, most of which are covert, that answer only to him. Understandably, the King's Musketeers and the Cardinal's Guards have an intense Interservice Rivalry and routinely cross swords (duels are ostensibly illegal in France). Meanwhile, Femme Fatale Lady DeWinter is charged with disposing of the Duke of Buckingham, and she carries a writ that makes her untouchable by French authorities: "What the bearer of this deed has done, is by my command, and for the good of France. Richelieu" As Aramis comments upon reading it, "It is an absolution in all its forms."

Dwindling Party: The musketeers and their servants peel off to hold off pursuers, deal with ambushes or tend to their wounds as the eight travel to London, with only D'Artagnan and Planchet reaching their destination. However, everybody survive in one piece, and they are reunited as D'Artagnan travels home. Adaptations usually remove the servants for brevity and the party loses only musketeers. One by one, in truly You Shall Not Pass! moments. Making the story even more dramatic.

It Was a Gift: Subverted. D'Artagnan starts out with three gifts from his father: a sword, a horse, and a letter of introduction so he can join the Musketeers. He loses all three of them in the first chapter — the letter is stolen, the sword broken in a duel, and he sells the horse (an ancient nag with a ridiculous colour) as soon as he reaches Paris.

The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything

comment
The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: The characters are rarely, if ever, actually depicted as using muskets. Though they do use muskets on the one occasion at which it would be appropriate to, when there's a war on. Using muskets when they're just wandering around Paris causing trouble would be unsporting. Plus the novels are set in the mid-1600s. At that point, muskets were still fairly clumsy, unreliable, inaccurate weapons that were painfully slow to reload; for close combat a sword and/or a brace of pistols were just better than long guns.

Unbuilt Trope
 The Three Musketeers / int_f0e85546
comment
Unbuilt Trope: The original novel is a lot like The Prisoner of Zenda in that while it's a major influence on the swashbuckler genre, it's much more cynical than the films it inspired (including most of its own adaptations). D'Artagnan is something of an anti-hero: he has several love affairs and is not above tricking Milady into sleeping with him while she thinks she's sleeping with her lover. Unlike the malevolent Evil Chancellor of adaptations, Richelieu is an Anti-Villain who has France's welfare in mind. Ultimately, D'Artagnan ends up working for him and becomes good friends with Rochefort, Richelieu's Dragon, after besting him in several duels. The later books tended to deconstruct it further, with all of their antics in the first book biting them in the ass repeatedly in the later ones, and the most chivalric of the four suffering the most for his Royalist and traditional stances.

"Get Out of Jail Free" Card: Cardinal Richelieu gives one of these to Milady de Winter: "It is on my orders and for the good of France that the bearer of this letter has done what they have done."

Who decides to accept it and give him a promotion.

comment
Gold Digger: Milady probably qualifies, as she came from a much lower background than Athos (a rich Count) and deliberately kept her shady past from him in order to ensnare him into marriage. Porthos, meanwhile, is a rare male example. His M.O. consists of romancing and eventually marrying rich, elderly widows (or, well, the first one wasn't even widowed when he started romancing her). Whether it pays off is debatable. He does end up very rich, but his neighbours don't respect him, his wives are all way past child-bearing age so they cannot give him heirs, and since they die well before him he's also bereft of their company. Not that he seemed to particularly care about that last aspect.
