Jealous of Dantes’ love life, he helped to write and deliver the letter that got Dantes arrested so that he could marry Mercedes. In addition to this, he neglected Dantes’ father so that Mercedes would pay attention to him and only him. As Fernand became a successful smuggler and eventually but illegally got very rich, he betrayed a man named Ali Pasha in exchange for money. In turn, the Count made Ali his personal servant and exposed Fernand to the national newspaper, as the newspaper published a testimony against Fernand that read “It has come to our attention that a french officer had betrayed his benefactor, Ali Pasha, to the Turks. This officer was known at that time as Fernand Mondego, but he now calls himself the Count of Morcerf and is a member of the chamber” (Dantes 351). This marks the beginning of the end for Fernand, as the Count publicly exposes him, showing how he is a traitor and a murderer. In addition, the Count also explains how Fernand is a fraud and that he bought his title through illegal smuggling instead of earning his title.

“Humble yourself or life will do it for you.” Having too much pride can cause karma to hit you very hard in life. The Count of Monte Cristo and Ozymandias are very common because they have very similar themes of being humble instead of having too much ego. In The Count of Monte Cristo Edmond Dantes, the main character, is in love with a beautiful young lady, Mercedes. His life is going very good to begin with anyway. He was promoted to captain of the Pharaon and was now making much more money than he used to be making. Although Edmond was a very happy and sympathetic person, some people were very envious of him. So Ferdinand, Danglars, and Caderousse, which were envious for very diverse reasons, decided to write a letter to the public prosecutor stating edmond’s visit to The Isle of Elba actually did indeed happen. The public prosecutor, Villefort, sees that the letter was intended to be
While he lies on the ground gasping for breath, Caderousse tells the Abbe Busoni that he does not believe in God. Only moments later, Edmond Dantes reveals himself to him, and he spends his dying breath asking the Lord to forgive him. Edmond Dantes, looking at his corpse, whispers “one”. This was the first evident moment in Alexandre Dumas’s The Count of Monte Cristo where Edmond Dantes achieves any justification on his enemies for the wrongs they have done to him. After twenty years of meticulous planning, Dantes carries out his plan of ultimate revenge on his enemies in order to achieve the justice he believes he deserves. In his novel, Dumas shows that to obtain true justice—whether personal or societal—one must understand the limits of
In Dante’s Inferno, the relationship between Dante the Pilgrim and Virgil the Guide is an ever-evolving one. By analyzing the transformation of this relationship as the two sojourn through the circles of hell, one is able to learn more about the mindset of Dante the Poet. At the outset, Dante is clearly subservient to Virgil, whom he holds in high esteem for his literary genius. However, as the work progresses, Virgil facilitates Dante’s spiritual enlightenment, so that by the end, Dante has ascended to Virgil’s spiritual level and has in many respects surpassed him. In Dante’s journey with respect to Virgil, one can see man’s spiritual journey towards understanding God. While God loves man regardless of his faults, His greatest desire is to see man attain greater spirituality, in that man, already created in God’s image, may truly become divine, and in doing so, attain eternality.
Another insight into how Backus worked was the letter the FBI received from The Poet written to Bob Backus. Clearly acknowledging that there were two separate individuals within Backus. Backus also must have thought that he was smarter than everyone to think he could commit these crimes and not get caught.
Character Analysis: Maximilien Morrel In the book The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas, Dumas uses Maximilien Morrel as a comparable character; a foolish foil. In the beginning, Maximilien is painted as a hero who is as handsome as he is noble, but regrettably he meets the end of his character arc as a lovesick fool who cannot do anything without his lover. Out of all of the characters, Maximilien pulled the short straw in character arc and consequently, by the end of the book, is depicted as a milksop. Conversely, he is far from a milksop; Maximilien Morrel is a dependable hero.
...ards monstrous figures and sympathy towards those who seem to be tortured unjustly. In his perverse education, with instruction from Virgil and the shades, Dante learns to replace mercy with brutality, because sympathy in Hell condones sin and denies divine justice. The ancient philosopher Plato, present in the first level of Hell, argues in The Allegory of the Cave that truth is possible via knowledge of the Form of the Good. Similarly, Dante acquires truth through a gradual understanding of contrapasso and the recognition of divine justice in the afterlife. Ultimately, Dante recognizes that the actions of the earthly fresh are important because the soul lives on afterwards to face the ramifications. By expressing his ideas on morality and righteousness, Dante writes a work worth reading, immortalizes his name, and exalts the beliefs of his Christian audience.
	Edmond Dantes imprisonment made a huge impact on his life. He spent 14 years in the dark and quiet Chateau d’If. During those 14 years he met a priest, Abbe Faria, which they met each other through a secret tunnel in which they both have created while in prison. An amazing transformation takes place in Edmond Dantes as he learns about his enemies and a large hidden treasure that contains a large sum of money. Abbe Faria is a very smart man, while in prison he taught Dantes many useful knowledge including the whereabouts of a large treasure located on the Isle of Monte Cristo.
In "Ripping off some Room for People to "Breathe Together" by Simone Weil Davis and Michaels Bruce argue over the importance of education in prisons. They convey their argument by providing brief stories of prisoners that describe how education has helped them throughout their sentence. In addition, they mention that educational programs in prisons do not necessarily need to focus on math and science or the standard subjects taught in school. Instead, educational programs such as design and outreach have been put in place and have shown to tremendously benefit prisoners. In contrast Davis and Bruce bring up a downfall that has occurred
They too make his passage safe and even possible in the first place. The most important of the help comes from Beatrice whom Dante loved in real life, and mentions often in the beginning of the story. Dante again has something many people have on their journey, but utilizes his guidance to its fullest potential and reaps the benefits as a new person. The whole poem Inferno rings allegoric to human life and challenge in Dante’s time and
It would seem that everything Dante observes throughout his journey would be enlightening. However, through the admonishments of Virgil, it becomes apparent that there exist two distinct ways of perceiving: practical, active observation and unreceptive, disadvantageous perception. It is through practical and active observation that Dante comprehends the lessons of his journey. Unreceptive perception fails to provide valuable information for Dante to use during his life on Earth. In addition, with practical, active observation, Dante not only learns about the sinners but he learns about himself when his journey is reflected by a living soul in hell.
Prisons are historically meant to be a place of punishment for those that have committed one or more crimes, but it was not a proper rehabilitation for prisoners that are to be released back into society. The benefit of having an education program can enrich the inmates of their learning experiences and improve their knowledge and ability as an individual to return to society with a chance for future success. This spark of interest for this topic has given me a reason to believe that if prisoners were given an education, there are certain aspects of a person that can be improved and also benefit them to fit back into society which can be a step forward than a step backwards to what they are trying to achieve.
How they constituted their world through the life of crime. It was amazing to see the skills I’ve learned and was able to put into action with individuals incarcerated. The inmates felt confident to confide in me, expressing their need for additional help with reading, math, or writing a letter home to their loved ones. Often the inmates would expound indicating, “if you were my teacher back when, I wouldn’t be in this situation today”. I realized I wanted to teach adults, and I could achieve greatness in others if I so desired.
