He helps Morrel and his family when they were about to lose everything. Anyway, some people did die but that's of little importance.ĭantes is also kind to all of the people that were kind to him or tried to help him while he was in jail. And all of the riches they acquired while he rotted in jail was disgusting. He tears down their houses, their world without them knowing who he is until the bitter end. We go on to read of the tale of how Dantes gets to Monte Cristo and soon he is beyond rich and he is so smart and ready to get IT DONE!Īnd Dantes doesn't just run off and kill people. Well, he doesn't actually get buried but thrown out to sea and luckily Dantes managed to save himself. Dantes decided to leave then as he had nothing else to stay for and he put himself in Abbe Faria's place all wrapped up waiting to be buried. Dantes was so grief stricken over his friend. Unfortunately, Abbe Faria dies and it was so sad. He makes Dantes remember everything about getting there and where to find the treasure. Abbe Faria also tells Dantes about tons of gold and jewels that he has hidden on the island of Monte Cristo. Poor Dantes couldn't see this at the time and he couldn't read what we were reading so he had no clue.

Because Dantes is good and kind and loving.Ībbe Faria is also the one that opens Dantes eyes to who the culprits were that put him in jail. And who in the hell but Dantes would wait and not leave his friend. He is like another father figure to Dantes. He's not going to be able to make it so Dantes waits with him. But the Abbe is old and sick and having seizures.

But Dantes and Abbe devise a new plan and this takes some years to do all of this tunneling. Abbe Faria thinks he's tunneling out to freedom but he made a miscalculation. Dantes gets to meet Abbe Faria, the mad man (so they say) in the cell next door. At some point the two of them tunnel to each other. Then one night Dantes hears a scratching sound and soon realizes someone is tunneling. I hate these men with such a passion I just wanted someone to kill their evil selves.Īll of the jerks had a hand in putting Dantes in prison for 14 effing years! Yeah! For what? For NOTHING!ĭantes was in such despair he was going to starve himself to death. The the jealous bastards or just bastards in general ruined life for Dantes. And he was going to be captain of the wonderful ship, Pharaon. He had a woman he loved and was going to marry named Mercedes. I never thought I would fall in love with Dantes! I never thought I would have so much anger, sadness, despair and happiness in this book! I never thought, did I!Įdmond Dantes was a wonderful man of 19-years-old.

I never in a million years would have thought I would love this book! I never thought I would like something like this book. Reread of one of my favorites for March of the Mammoths!
