The Count of Monte Cristo free essay sample

As I have watched the film of The Count of Monte Cristo, which was based on the novel written by Alexandre Dumas with the same title, I saw how hatred and vengeance can kill and affect every other’s lives. At the first part of the movie, Edmund Dantes, the main character of the movie, He is betrayed by his own friend named, Fernand Mondego, because he likes Dantes’ fiancee and he is jealous about Dantes being the captain of their ship. Because of this he faced so much conflict and suffered for a long time in prison because of his traitor friend and unconsciously being the carrier of the dangerous letter of Napoleon Bonaparte. Edmund doesn’t know how to read and write that’s why he wasn’t able to know the content of the letter which was then a plan of rebellion by Bonaparte. He lost his trust in God after what had happened to him because he thought that God was never there when he needed help and justice.
