A plot summary
Fernand Mondego can no longer bear the envy
he has of Edmond Dantes, because he has a
beautiful woman. Influential, he ends up causing
Dantes, a poor and honest man, to be accused of
treason and murder. Thrown in prison for a crime he
has not committed, Edmond Dantes is confined to
the grim fortress .
,
Faria teaches Dantes history, science, philosophy,
and languages, turning him into a well-educated
man. Faria also bequeaths to Dantes a large treasure
hidden on the island of Monte Cristo, and he tells him
how to find it should he ever escape. When Faria dies,
Dantes hides himself in the abbs shroud, thinking
that he will be buried and then dig his way out.
Instead, Dantes is thrown into the sea, and is able to
cut himself loose and swim to freedom. Then, he
escapes from prison full of hatred and thirsty for
revenge.
