Oh, and Dantes called himself "Sinbad the Sailor" and "The Count of Monte Cristo." Of course I guess if you own a rock and gold and jewels and many other things, you can call yourself anything you want! :-) And it's so, so sad for so many involved. Dantes was friends with Mercedes son but things could never be good for them again. But she went and married freaking Fernand and had a kid. The only person to recognize Dantes, even with his disguises, was Mercedes. I cried and cried at his generosity.Īnd to sit and read of all the plans and all of the people crumble. He helped the family even after Morrel was gone. They even lost the Pharaon but Dantes brings him a new one without Morrel even knowing where the ship came from. He helps Morrel and his family when they were about to lose everything. Anyway, some people did die but that's of little importance.ĭantes is also kind to all of the people that were kind to him or tried to help him while he was in jail. And all of the riches they acquired while he rotted in jail was disgusting. He tears down their houses, their world without them knowing who he is until the bitter end.

Poor Dantes couldn't see this at the time and he couldn't read what we were reading so he had no clue. Because Dantes is good and kind and loving.Ībbe Faria is also the one that opens Dantes eyes to who the culprits were that put him in jail.

At some point the two of them tunnel to each other. Then one night Dantes hears a scratching sound and soon realizes someone is tunneling.
