monte cristo
In The Count of Monte Cristo, Alexander Dumas places Edmond Dantes in the position to act as God around those whom he is associated with. It is common knowledge, that God is a kind, loving, all knowing, and wrathful. Dantes is shown to have all of these characteristics. Dantes first shows his kindness as the Abbe Busoni and Lord Wilmore as he rewards those who were once kind to him. Dumas makes clear of Dantes being all knowing as he shows how each of Dantes' enemies are indebted to him. Dumas points out the wrath of God as Dantes carries out his revenge. As Abbe Busoni and Sinbad the Sailor(or Lord Wilmore), Dantes acts as a kind and merciful God as he rewards the faithful. He also rewards those who have in one way or another helped in the past. First, he goes to Caderousse to use him as an informant. Because Caderousse is a greedy man with no moral misgivings, he is easily coaxed into telling tales against others.

When Dantes makes his appearance as the Count of Monte Cristo, he cleverly arranges having his archenemies indebted to him. When Monte Cristo goes to Italy for the Carnival, the bandit Luigi Vampa kidnaps Albert de Morcerf, son of Fernand and Mercedes. Monte Cristo saves Albert, causing the de Morcerfs to be in his debt. Not only that, but it gives Monte Cristo a reason to go to Paris. After Monte Cristo returns Madame Danglars' horses, he includes the diamonds that adorned the horses. For such a generous gift, Danglars declares himself indebted to Monte Cristo. The Count also wins the trust of Madame Heloise de Villefort by saving her and rejuvenating her son. He knows that Madame de Vil
