Lucien debray count of monte cristo1/22/2024 Dantès is good at HR.ĭantès goes home to visit his father. When Morrel asks Dantès his opinion of Danglars, he says that while he may not be fond of him as a person, he does his job, so everything is cool. Dantès said it was ordered by the late captain, so Morrel is cool with it. He snitches to the ship’s owner, Morrel, that Dantès detoured to the Isle of Elba (where Napoleon is) on his way home. No one likes him, and as this is not a YA novel about accepting who you are and stuff like that, we assume he is one of the bad guys. Young Edmund Dantès is acting as captain, as the previous captain has died (in agony, in case you were wondering.) Almost everyone likes him and thinks he’s a good captain. There is a ship, the Pharaon, pulling into the harbor in Marseilles. So here you are, lovelies, an 18,000 word summary and review of Alexandre Dumas’ classic The Count of Monte Cristo. I knew it would take a while, and it did, but now there is a lovely resource out there for those of you who maybe didn’t have time to read, or read an abridged version and got confused with the holes that you found. So I started writing my review chapter by chapter. As I read, I realized that things were going to get complicated, and I didn’t want to lose track of what was going on. And I feel like I accomplished something when I finished. It was ridiculously long, but also really good. I was one of the people who voted for it, so I was going to read the whole thing, darn it! And I’m glad I did.
