Dantes, being hell-bent on revenge and will do anything leads to serious consequences. Near the end of the story where the Count is aware of all the terrible things he has done to people and plans to leave the world entirely, Haydee confesses her love to him and the Count responds with: “I wanted to punish myself, but God wishes to forgive me. Perhaps your love will make me forget what I must forget,” (529). In this quote, the Count already is aware of all the terrible things he has done to numerous people in order to sate his appetite for vengeance, and plans to punish himself, but Haydee will not allow that to happen. Seeing this as a message from God, Dantes plans to live for not himself, but rather Haydee and shows how he rebounded to live his life
