I love how in almost every adaptation of "The Count of Monte Cristo" the Abbe's last words are something like "Remember, do not let vengance consume you. Promise me you won't seek revenge. Justice is served by God" or smth like this, while in the book, the literal source material, he just goes "Find the treasure on the island of Monte Cristo. Get the money" and then dies.

This book is so unhinged, I can't even. It's pure chaos. Don't let anyone ever convince you that it's sophisticated classic literature. Dumas loved drama, schemes, adventures and dumb ironic humor.

Clergyman mentor character in Les Misérables: remember Valjean, the most important thing in life is improving yourself, getting closer to God and forgiving others :)

Clergyman mentor character in The Count of Monte Cristo: remember Dantès, the most important thing in life is having loads and loads of money and also never letting anything go ever

2025 books - the count of monte cristo by alexandre dumas

There is neither happiness nor unhappiness in this world; there is only the comparison of one state with another. Only a man who has felt ultimate despair is capable of feeling ultimate bliss. It is necessary to have wished for death in order to know how good it is to live. The sum of all human wisdom will be contained in these two words: Wait and Hope.

Finally got around to posting my friend and I’s “Welcome to the Isle of Monte Cristo” animation! We made this for a school project almost a year ago, and we actually ended up winning an award for this lmfao

“You are my son Dantés! You are the child of my captivity. My priestly office condemned me to celibacy: God sent you to me both to console the man who could not be a father and the prisoner who could not be free.”

Perhaps your thoughts of revenge are serving God's purpose of keeping you alive these seven years.

To what end?

Escape.
