He made the decision to use their greatest vice or most favorite thing for his revenge so that the impact cuts deep. So if the man was greedy then he would use his greed as part of his revenge.

Fernand and Danglars talk about how to get rid of Edmond so the send a false police report about him.Edmond gets arrested and is sent to Chateau d’if for life for being accused of being a Bonapartist spy. Edmond escapes from jail with the help of Abbe Faria. He travels to Monte Cristo to claim the treasure. He returns to Marseilles in disguise as the Count of Monte Cristo and other alias.

Love always seems to find a place in someone’s heart not by choice but by admiration. One who admires another appears to feel something towards the person they are admiring and that feeling they have can lead into the feeling of love. Despite all of Love’s joy and excitement, Gottfried Von Strassburg’s Tristan and Thomas’ Tristan, reveals the way love overwhelms a person and the outcomes that happen when two lovers cannot be near or without each other. Love’s overwhelming feeling often associates with death, in that those in love are so consumed with emotion and the desire to be with their beloved that it can lead to their downfall. Even though the loves of Rivalin and Blancheflor and Tristan and Isolde/Ysolt are similar in ways, they also are different.

Humans learn to adapt to their environments, and strange and difficult circumstances often result in unexpected reactions; cornered prey will attack its predator with strength and willpower it previously lacked. As the poet Horace put it, “Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents which in prosperous circumstances would have lain dormant.” In two different pieces of literature, The Crucible by Arthur Miller and The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas, two characters discover their talents through adversity but utilize them for very different means.

The main theme that is presented within The Count of Monte Cristo is that revenge and manipulation is easily able to hurt someone, but also benefit another. In this case, Edmond Dantès takes the side of benefit and those brought underneath his vengeance had been ruined. After a plan carefully schemed by three of his false friends, Dantes was thrown into prison and placed under a situation of betrayal and resentment. This long wait in the chateau d’If had put a need for revenge into Dantès head which had transformed him into the Count of Monte Cristo. Although the Count was considered bitter and cold, his seek for revenge had only benefitted him into a more creatively malicious character. Furthermore, this manipulation that Dantès had been put

In the story of Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand, there are people who solely focus on the aesthetics of others instead of the personality or quality of the individual. Though it seems completely innocent, they can only hurt themselves, and the people close to them. Cyrano de Bergerac presents the theme of love as an umbrella to the motifs of precieuse, and platonic love, Rostand conveys the message that judging people on external beauty, and making reality bend to one’s desires can lead to self-harm, and heartbreak.

When Fernand first betrays Edmond in The Count of Monte Cristo, his main motive is jealousy. This is blatantly stated when, upon being asked by Edmond why he is selling him out, he replies: “Because you’re the son of a clerk, and I’m not supposed to want to be you!” Edmond, who up until this point in the story had thought that they were best friends, is shocked by his betrayal and vows revenge on Fernand. This theme of jealousy is also present in The Cask of Amontillado with Montresor, the protagonist. Montresor’s jealousy however, is much more subtle. This is only hinted at when he tells Fortunato “You are rich, respected, admired, beloved; you are happy, as I once was.” (Poe, 6) as he implies that he envies the prestige that Fortunato possesses; Montresor was once a great man, Fortunato still is, and he is jealous. That is not to say that Edmond, the protagonist in The Count of Monte Cristo, is not also driven by jealousy as he spends a good deal of time conflicted about his feelings towards his ex-fiance, extremely upset by the discovery that Fernand ended up marrying her. This revelation adds a whole other layer to the betrayal that Edmond is feeling as well, knowing that the love of his life married the friend that basically sent him to prison for a decade. The betrayal in The Cask of Amontillado comes not from Fortunato's part, but Montresor’s. Fortunato is completely oblivious to the fact that he has done Montresor any wrong or that

Edmond was wrongly accused of treason and sent to imprisonment for life. Edmond spends his next 14 years in the disconsolate Chateau d’lf, a prison sitting on an island at which no prisoner has ever escaped. As Edmond has lost all hope and “... God has faded from (his) heart,” he meets a priest, an old man who was sent to Chateau d’lf 11 years before Edmond. The priest is a very knowledgeable man with great persistence and belief in god. Continuously throughout the movie, the priest helps Edmond keep his belief in God and reminds him of why he is trying to escape similar to when King Melchizedek in The Alchemist was reminding Santiago that, “It's your mission on earth." Both of these men required a guardian and another person pushing them on and guiding them in their

I believe that the Ordinary World in The Count of Monte Cristo was when the author introduced Edmond in the beginning of the book. The author introduced him as a happy, successful young man that had everything going perfectly. He was about to marry the love of his life, he was promoted as a captain, and he was able to provide his father money.

Mahatma Ghandi once said “Love is the strongest force the world possesses and yet it is the humblest imaginable.” Love is a very strong theme in the book The Count of Monte Cristo, by Alexandre Dumas. Many of the characters, including Mercedes, Haydee, Valentine, and Edmond experienced some form of true love. Whether it was love between family, friends, or partners, many of the characters in The Count of Monte Cristo experienced love. Love is different to each person, love fuels many of the characters actions, and love isn’t something that can be erased through events.

Charles de Gaulle once said “Love is the strongest force in the world.” de Gaulle’s sentiment about love’s power holds true. In The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas, love is the most powerful driving force. During this romantic novel, a man named Edmond Dantés gets falsely imprisoned for fourteen years. When he escapes as a rich man, he swears revenge on his enemies, but in the end, love prevents him from enacting several of his vengeful plans. A moral in The Count of Monte Cristo is that love is the strongest power in the world because it can stop revenge in its tracks and cause great joy.

In Treasure and Vengeance, Justin Kaplan speaks about The Count of Monte Cristo in the highest regard. After a brief back story on himself, he quickly transitions into connecting it with the book itself. Kaplan claims that “in a singular sense, [Edmond’s] motive was disinterested: not the means to anything else and with no purpose other than its own fulfillment” (Kaplan). This is a key aspect in Kaplan’s criticism. He adds that his “revenge, driven by the festering sense of injustice” is what drives Edmond throughout the story (Kaplan). The whole story revolves around Dantès’ dire need to get revenge on Fernand, as well as others who have crossed him. In fact, the Count himself says that “for all evils there are two remedies - time and silence” (Dumas 523). His sole mission is to retaliate against Mondego, who was the cause of his wrongful conviction. He intends to get his revenge for his own needs

“What is love? / Baby don't hurt me / Don't hurt me / No more.” What Is Love by Haddaway. Romantic Love is what gives a story a purpose and sense of emotion. When thinking of Romantic Love, people describe it as two people in a relationship who love each other so much. They can be specific and say it is a relationship between two heterosexual people or it can be between two homosexual people. Romantic Love can be anything and throughout this essay I will be analyzing Romantic Love in Don Quixote and comparing or contrasting it to other texts that we have read throughout the quarter.

In life, one of the most baffling motifs that presents itself is the feeling of love. Whether you take it when you have it or be scared and back away is up to you. However, when you decide to take it and embrace it freely, this is when is when people finally decide to open up and be their true self. In the play Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare, the author portrays a contrasting theme between how life and death relates with how dramatic their love can be.

Ever wondered how love can bring you happiness and pain and make you sane and crazy at the same time. How this emotion can change you and make you accept things you are not used to. How this emotion can overpower you in many ways in which you did not know existed. In Lancelot by Chretien de Troyes, the power of love is a commanding driving force that can dominate a person’s mind, body, and soul and one who is courageous enough to love sometimes undergoes serious consequences. Consequences that are driven from the power of love that harm and cause hardship to the one who is determined to seek love.
