Research Paper On The Count Of Monte Cristo

Being accused by the sin that you did not do is definitely a hard thing. A hard thing to accept, a hard thing to admit. But how can you help yourself, how can you defend yourself if you are totally innocent...
The life of Edmond Dantes also known as The Count of Monte Cristo is definitely admirable. Though his life starts by being down. At first he is a man who knows nothing. A man who follows. A man full of love. But sooner his heart is filled with hatred. His mind only says "REVENGE". Sometimes in our life we are like Edmond. Our hearts are full hatred, anger and revenge. And there comes a time, when our faith is shaken. Wherein we ask God why all such things are happening. Why of all the people, you are the unlucky one. And comes to point

    In The Count Of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas and a scene from Blessings by Mary Hall Surfaces, the two pieces of text show the common theme of importance of friendship, as both the protagonists, Jesse from Blessings and Edmond of The Count Of Monte Cristo, both face challenges and remain faithful because of friendly friendships they form. In The Count Of Monte Cristo, Edmond is a prisoner, wanting and hoping to get out of the prison he is in. The jailer, Dantes, starts to form a friendship with Edmond and begins talking about all the things he does and does not like. That gives Edmond hope that he will be able to get out of the jail. “Dantes raised himself up and began to talk about everything; about the bad quality of the food, about the coldness of his dungeon, grumbling and complaining, in order to have an excuse for speaking louder, and wearying the patience of his jailer, who out of kindness of heart had brought broth and white bread for his prisoner”(Paragraph 8).…

    Throughout the story, there is constant conflict within himself: the struggle between his insatiable curiosity, along with his rejection of conformity, and the doctrine of solidarity instilled in him since he could remember by his teachers and fellow members of society. Equality most clearly displays this when he states that he does not “know why [his] curse makes [him] seek [he] know not what, ever and ever. But [he] cannot resist it”(24). However he later contradicts these thoughts when he expresses that “there is no shame in [him] and no regret. [He says] to [himself] that [he is] a wretch and a traitor.…

    I believe that a person is innocent until they are proven guilty. If you are accused and face consequences right away and are not proven guilty it is unfair. It would be fair to go to court and have the accusation be backed up with proof or else it would be considered a slanderous statement. Accusing someone without any proof will cause a lawsuit that may last months or maybe even up to years.…

    When he tried to become friends with the DeLaceys, he was beaten by Felix, and only managed to hold a conversation with the old man of the DeLaceys because he was blind. This is also shown when he went into a town, and was driven out and beaten with clubs and rocks. The monster did not do anything, and was even helping save a girl’s life, but was still met with pain and suffering. This justifies his hatred for humanity and his desire for vengeance, because not only did he suffer from his good deeds and harmless nature, but it happened multiple times. This shows that he tried to stay nice and calm towards humanity, but they eventually threw him over the edge.…

    A story cannot be spoken of as the product of any individual, but must be treated as the product both of its author and the culture that embraced it. A piece of literature can, therefore, act as an almost living representation of a whole culture’s sense of identity. By analyzing the major themes in several pieces of literature, from ancient epics to those more modern, I will herein demonstrate a gradual change in human identity. I will present aspects of famous epics that show how the individual man has gradually superseded the community as the focal point of epic literature. These aspects are, namely, a humanization of the hero, and a shift in the hero’s benefactors.…
