Okay, i read this book on days other than the 3 times a week we need to blog so i'll just average it out.
Minutes: 45
Pages: 70
Summary: Edmond Dantes is a sailor and a good leader, devoted to his fiancee and father (who is aging), and is able to overlook his dislike of Danglars, Caderousse, and Fernand and treats them with civility. He's loyal to his loved ones and sees the best in everyone. Danglars (who was watching his father before he left on a voyage), Caderousse (his rival for the job of captaining his ship), and Fernand (his rival for his fiancee's attention) have convinced themselves that, despite his kind acts, that he is arrogant, and, Fernand feels he is the only obstacle between him and Mercedes (Dantes' fiancee). The three decide to engineer his demise.
Reflection: Alexander Dumas wrote in many things to contrast Dantes from his three "enemies". Dantes is talked about as being liked by all those under him on his ship. Despite his obvious kindness, the three decide in their minds he is horrible.
