The Count Of Monte Cristo Narrative Essay Example

Ferdinand wrote a letter accusing
Edmond of carrying a letter from Elba to the Bonapartist
committee in Paris. Caderousse, a neighbor, learned of the
plot but kept silent. On his wedding day Edmond was arrested
and taken before a deputy named Villefort, a political
apostate, who, to protect himself, had Edmond secretly
imprisoned in the deepest dungeons of the Chateau D'If.
There Dantes' incarceration was secured by the plotting of
his enemies outside the prison, particularly towards
Villefort, who wished to cover up his own father's
connections with the Bonapartists. Dantes suffered for
fourteen grueling years. While in prison, he was determined
to escape and began digging a tunnel in hopes that it would
lead to freedom. During this exercise, he met an elderly
inmate named Abbe Faria whose attempt to dig his way to his
salvation had led him only to Edmond's cell. The two meet
daily and an incredible relationship flourished. The old man
taught Edmond history, mathematics, and languages. In
Edmond's fourteenth year, Faria became mortally ill. The
wise elder told Edmond where to find a massive buried

a burial sac. Edmond seized the opportunity of escaping and

sent to the Chateau D'If.
Ferdinand had married Mercedes and was now the Count
de Morcef. Monte Cristo released information to the press
that proved that Morcef is a traitor, and Morcef is ruined
socially. Then Monte Cristo destroyed Morcef's relationship
with his family, whom he adored. When they leave him, he was
so distraught that he committed suicide.

To revenge himself on Caderousse, Monte Cristo
easily trapped Caderousse because of his voracious greed.
Monte Cristo awakened this greed with the gift of a diamond.
Later, urged by his wife, Caderousse committed robbery and
murder. Now escaped from prison, Caderousse unsuccessfully
attempted to rob Monte Cristo. The Count watched as one of
Caderousse's companions mortally wounding him. As the man
lay dying, Monte Cristo exposed his true name- Edmond
Dantes. To revenge himself on Danglars, who loves money more
