page 1002 of the count of montecristo... WHY DO I JUST HAVE 212 PAGES LEFT, WHAT DO I DO AFTER THIS BOOK IS OVER??????????
258 pages in the count of montecristo and holy fucking shit if it isn't one of the best books ever created Dumas you sexy mf
PAGE 793 WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON MR NOIRTIER YOU OLD FABULOUS GRANDPA AHHHHHHHH
461 pages into the c(o)unt of montecristo and a very dramatic moment happened and my playlist decided to play o fortuna from carmina burana
finished the count of montecristo... before reading chapter 117 i thought i was going to be devastated by the end of the book, thinking that i am saying goodbye to it, forever, but, I have no idea how, it healed me? the count leaves with haydée and you're sort of left on the shore with maximilien and valentine... attendere e sperare! wait and hope!
little thought about the count of montecristo chapter 89 and mid chapter 90, because i am still going insane over it...
this whole story is insane... what do you mean you start the book with edmond barely being 19, with a bright future, hopes and dreams, you see how he's looking forward to have the greatest joys of his life, his father, his beautiful fiancé who he has loved for long, being finally able to provide for his loved ones and the job he was born to do, and then everything is crushed and his youth and love and prospects are taken away for fourteen years...
he gets locked in a dark room with only a small window on the sea, looking at what gave him freedom through imprisonment, and for what he believes are the rest of his miserable days, and casually in a fit of shared desperation he finds a friend, hope, a companion who teaches him what more is there to life, THIS IN A PRISON CELL!!!!
and edmond goes from seeking death for himself, to seeing it and then defeating it, with a single hope that gets crushed yet again when he escapes, and it fortifies his need for revenge...
REVENGE THAT HE SPENDS YEARS CRAFTING, and he doesn't feel like the same man of before, he is the count not edmond, but you want him to avenge himself, you want him to even murder those who wronged him, even his plan is cruel and ruthless...
but then you read chapter 89, and you see this man, this now forty two years old man who is still wounded and suffering like he was when he was truly young, that vengeance didn't heal him, that being mean and tough and strange was ultimately just an act to survive the pain he carried with him. he convinced himself of being this incredible entity changed completely, an agent of the wrath of god, and then he finds out that the aching part inside of him was his heart, he realises he still has a heart when Mercedes comes back to him, still not as his and pleads for her son the same thing edmond was pleading for at his age...
and it breaks you completely, because you loved him as he went through the worst of evils, and then he became merciless and you still loved him because he was edmond dantes, even if he felt like another person, and then edmond comes back, and for the love he once harboured and still carries with him, he is willing to embrace death, again, wondering if that maybe will give ease to his heart...
page 1142 of the count of montecristo and I have to say, albert, debray, beauchamp and château-renaud are samantha, carrie, miranda and charlotte ante litteram, sex and the city more like salons of paris
