The Count of Monte Cristo is a novel, by a French writer, Alexandre Dumas.The story, set in France in the period of Napoleon’s exile, is based on a true story.As soon as it published, it was translated into many languages.There is no doubt that The Count of Monte Cristo has become the eternal and famous book in the history of world literature.The main character of the novel, Edmond Dantes, took care of Captain Leclere, the captain of the grand Pharaon on the return journey.Before the Captain’s death, he entrust Dantes to deliver a letter to Napoleon.When they arrived their destination, Marseille, Dantes asked M.Morrel for a leave to make preparation for his marriage with Mercedes, and then accomplished Captain’ last wish.Because of Captain’s death, it was time for M.Morrel to appoint a new person as the captain of Pharaon.Luckily, Dantes gained the honor.Then a turn in the story began, Dantes was arrested and set into prison for treason during the wedding ceremony.In fact, it was a conspiracy, plotted by his friends-Fernand, Danglars, and Caspard Caderoue.They were jealous of Dantes’s good luck.Danglars was out of his ambition-to be the captain.Fernand was from love-he wished to marry Mercedes, while she loved Dantes.For both of them, only when Dantes was put into prison or died, could they fulfill their own goals.As for Caderoue, he gained no benefits from this conspiracy.He was still worse off.The reason could be that he merely envied his neighbor’s prosperous.Apart from these people, the prosecutor, Villefort, abused his power under the ground that the letter was sent to Noirtier, Villefort’s father and the supporter of Napoleon.From Villefort’s perspective, although he knew that Dantes was innocent, if Dantes had not be sentenced and sent to the miserable Chateau d’If, it would have a negative impact on his political road as the result that his father, Noirtier, was the supporter of Napoleon.Dantes spent fourteen years in prison.At first, he felt that the gloomy settled upon him.He even set up his mind to die.After encountering with the old priest, Faria, he abandoned his thought of death and determined to live on.He carefully analyzed the elements that he reduced to such an awful position.With the instruction of the old priest, Dantes got hang of several languages, which laid foundation for his revenge.The old priest told him that a great deal of treasure wais buried in the island of Monte Cristo.They arranged to break prison, explored the treasure and averaged them.While, in the last proce, the old priest died of disease.Dantes places himself in the old priest’s shroud and laid himself in the coffin.He would take the old priest’s place in the ceremony, and then dig his way to freedom.Suffering from a large number of difficulties, he survived and found the treasure.When he gained treasure, he attempt to get in touch with his love and father, only to find that the old Dantes died and Mercedes had married Fernand.Disguised as a
educated and wealthy count, he returned to his native land, Marseille and commerce on setting them back.He took revenge for people who framed him as well as reward people who did something good for him.Having reached the summit of his vengeance by a long path, Dantes disclosed his true identity instead of Monte Cristo.However, he deeply felt nervous for the harm and unfortunate to the innocent people due to his vengeance.At the end of the story, Valentine survived and married Maximillian with the secret protect.And Monte Cristo and Haidee revealed adore to each other, form then on, they stayed together.The novel provides readers with a vivid picture of exotic life, especially Paris, Italy, Greece of the 19th century.The description is so detailed that readers have acce to know and set themselves in those situations even though the social structure is distanced from ours.To some extent, I quite appreciate Dantes’s way of getting along with others.He was straightforward, generous, indignant, and persistent.He loved the one loving him.He hated the one hating him.He treated people how they dealt with him.These are not only fair but also equal.No one likes to be ignored or mistreated.What Dumas wrote is a mirror of our true feelings and the situation of the society.At the same time, I find that money was nearly the almighty God.The position of money was higher than anything.I admit that money plays a significant role in our daily life, without which, I will be trapped in a dilemma.My quality of life will descend and I will not afford to meet my basic needs.What’ worse, my life will be in a me.Neverthele, it is tragedy that money presides over people’ sense and sensibility.Moreover, it is the first time that in have found lesbianism in a novel.Among the women in the novel, especially Eugenie and Valentine, both led a different life.They were heirees to a large fortunes and born rich.They are presented with the alternatives of subjecting themselves to their father’s will or marrying to men they do not love or being confined to convent(just like Mercedes).But for Eugenie, her lesbianism is a trait of personality, which makes her out of others.I can find a similar example in the book A Dream in Red Mansions.There are so many dazzlingly beautiful young girls, but they strike me as a variety of characters because of the impreion of their behavior.I wonder that in 19th century, what Eugenie did represented an expreion of women’s desire for independence.I have read the adapted edition twice and now I set on reading the original one.I strongly recommend this book because it creates my thirst for reading and every time I read, I can catch something fresh and something new.Cla: English 10jiaName: Qiu XiaoxiaoNo.: 1091510119
