Mount Of Monte Cristo Passage Analysis

437 Words2 Pages

In both the passage and the scene, “The Mount of Monte Cristo” and “Blessings”, send messages out to their readers. The way the authors developed the messages, or themes, have similarities, but also some differences in each text. In “The Mount of Monte Cristo”, a man is imprisoned for over four years and has recently stopped eating the prison food. I think the theme of this passage is to always have hope, even in the worse situations. The sound that Edmond heard gave him a sense of hope as the passage said "It seemed to him that heaven had at length taken pity on him, and sent this noise to warn him on the very brink of the abyss," in paragraph 3. This theme was developed through the jailer talking to Edmond, setting, him eating the food

    When analyzing the two pieces of literature, “First They Came,” written by Pastor Martin Niemoller, and the short story “Terrible Things,” by Eve Bunting, there is noticeable connections but there are also many differences. To begin, one is a short story and one is a poem, which is already divergent on its own. There is also other examples such as the diction that the authors use, the syntax, and the use of symbols. Though unalike in various ways, they are also very analogous in the way of common theme. Pastor Martin Niemoller’s work of literature is titled “First They Came.”

    . “Suddenly it seemed to him that the sky, which was already dark, became still darker, and that a thick, heavy cloud was descending on him”(Dumas 81). In this quote, no one is speaking; it is the narrator describing Dantès’s experiences outside of prison. I found this quote to be interesting because the storm that consumes him could be compared to the “storm” of sadness and loneliness that was brought upon him by the death of Faria.

Looking out of this, I felt that I was indeed in prison, and I seemed to want a breath of fresh air, though it were of the night" (lines 38-41).

    Throughout The Count of Monte Cristo a persuasive appeal that was very dominant was the pathos appeal. Pathos (appeals to the feelings or emotions of the readers) is present during the time Faria had died because the emotion Dantes expressed towards Faria pulled at the heart strings of the readers. Dantes with his deep love for Faria was trying to persuade him to continue to live “No, no, don’t worry, you won’t die. If you have a third attack, you’ll be free by then, and we’ll save you the same way we saved you this time… because you’ll have the best medical care obtainable” (Dumas 62).

    The main theme of The Count of Monte Cristo is that many people wish to seek revenge, but it often backfires on them. This theme is present throughout the entire novel in a variety of different ways, and Dumas makes many fascinating remarks on society throughout the characters’ actions and personalities. Dumas is saying that society typically thinks that revenge could be a good idea; however, Dumas is trying to convey that revenge—though tempting—is not an honorable choice. Edmond Dantès chose the track of revenge rather than taking the high road and living the remainder of his life in relative peace.
