On Rizal's Fave; The Count Of Monte Cristo

Subject: Reaction on Alexandre Dumas' The Count of Monte Cristo

The Count of Monte Cristo was a story created by a famous romanticist Alexander Dumas. The story runs around a young man named Edmund Dantes, who, living life in penury and illiteracy but with innate abilities of a talented and skillful hand, was left lured by a friend after being grudged for his possession of the beautiful Mercedes. Dantes, fraud to have committed a crime, was sent to jail and there met an old man who, coincidentally, had in his years fell in the same lure as Dantes'.

On Dantes' bitter stay behind bars, he found company with the old man who was once a priest and knew of a secret treasure owned by Napoleon Bonaparte. The old man taught Dantes of the things he was worth knowing, thus, bestowed literacy and knowledge upon him.

Dantes being innately intelligent, learned sharply and profoundly. He was now a man his friends, and bitter, yet, enemies who had put him into such fate, had never expected he would become.

On the other hand, life outside the cell had a cruel offer Dantes was not supposed to know. Fernand, the traitor, made false letters to Mercedes with feigned signatures of Dantes, addressing she must forget him and move on with her life. And as a quick catch, Fernand asked for Mercedes' hands in marriage.

After years of entrapment, Dantes escaped the ill fate in prison and went on with a plan of revenge as Count of Monte Cristo.

That's all i have for the story. It was fun. More of the adventure and widely enthralls you into the vengeful, yet romantic topsy-turvey's of Dantes and the Count of Monte Cristo. It is no question why Rizal arrived at making Alexander Dumas' craft a favorite. It's not anymore to me a wonder why this links to Rizal's movement to ever correct, or safer to say, demand for reforms on the Spanish administration.The story is quite encouraging for a man with principles as his, considering psychology. ;D
