The Count of Monte Cristo
Every man has his rise and his downfall. His rise can be attributed to hard work, dedication to accomplishing a set goal, or possibly even luck. Sometimes a man can become jealous at another man's fortune and wish for his downfall. He might even try to make this wish come true in an innumerous amount of ways. At some point in a man's life, there is his downfall. It could be a disastrous downfall or maybe just a minor setback. However, if this man is smart he will try to overcome this downfall and try to gain vengeance on those who brought this bad luck upon him. In The Count of Monte Cristo, Edmond Dantes is living a very successful life until others, who are jealous of him, bring upon his downfall in a terrible manner. When he finally recovers from this disastrous event, he becomes filthy rich and extremely powerful. He is determined to bring revenge to those who have hurt him and rewards to those who had remained faithful towards him. He ruins the lives and sometimes even the families of Monsieur de Villefort, Monsieur Danglers, Fernand Mondego, and Gaspard Caderousse. The Count of Monte Cristo is set in France during the ending of the Napoleonic Era, which lasted from 1979 to 1821.
Dantes' third target is Caderousse, who is a very greedy man. Dantes watched as Caderousse's greed leads him to his death. After helping his friend Monsieur Morrel, Dantes decides to take his revenge on those who have hurt him. He disguises himself as the extremely wealthy and dignified Count of Monte Cristo. His first target is Fernand Mondego who married his beloved Mercedes. Dantes obtained and then released information to the people that proved Fernand is a traitor. After this, Fernand loses his relationship with his family and eventually takes his own life. This is the second example of the rise and fall of a man. Fernand had everything going for him although a lot of it came from cheating; he had a beautiful wife, he had his wealth, and he had his fame. Dantes came and destroyed this thus leading to Fernand's downfall and consequently his death.
